Delivering the World's Accessibility News

Are You Interested in Keeping up to Date with The Latest News on Accessibility?

The Global Alliance on Accessible Technologies and Environments (GAATES) proudly announces the worldwide launch of the international accessibility news service the Global Accessibility News.

GAATES has created the Global Accessibility News weekly news service to promote and create awareness on accessibility of the built, social and virtual environments; including architectural and infrastructural design, transportation systems, habitat, electronic information, web and communication technologies. The information is gathered daily from news sources around the world, and presented as Headline News, categorized by Geographical Regions: Africa, Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Middle East.

With the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, there is a great demand for up-to-date information on the latest developments in accessibility, Universal Design, Assistive Technologies, and Universally Accessible environments for people with disabilities and older persons.

For those who wish to receive the Global Accessibility News right into their email inbox, the Global Accessibility News is distributed via email 2 – 3 times a month. In addition, the Headline News stories are always available in a format that is fully accessible to all persons including persons with disabilities, on the Global Accessibility News website, with stories archived by month and year.
