World Braille Day is observed on the 4th of January by the United Nations: “For the visually impaired, life under lockdown has posed several issues in terms of independence and isolation, especially for people who rely on the use of touch to communicate their needs and access information. The pandemic has revealed how critically important it is to produce essential information in accessible formats, including in Braille and audible formats. Otherwise, many persons with disabilities could face a higher risk of contamination due to a lack of access of guidelines and precautions to protect and reduce the spreading of a pandemic. COVID-19 has also emphasized the need to intensify all activities related to digital accessibility to ensure digital inclusion of all people.” Source: https://ift.tt/e0BnoJv #worldbrailleday #unobserverdays #year2023 #DEI #diversityequityinclusion #ImagineRotary
