FRA underscores digital accessibility as a fundamental right

On 5 December, FRA shared insights from its work on digital accessibility and inclusion at the first Digital Accessibility Day in the European Parliament, held during Disability Rights Week.

FRA’s Spokesperson, Nicole Romain, drew on findings from the recent Digitalisation of Justice report and earlier research on older people’s digital rights, stressing that digitalisation should open doors – not create new barriers. 

FRA's research shows that while digital tools can enhance efficiency and transparency, they risk excluding vulnerable groups if accessibility is not build in from the start. 

Leading by example, FRA continues to ensure that its own digital platforms and publications meet high accessibility standards, reflecting its commitment to inclusion in practice.
