It aims to remove barriers that may hinder participation in societal activities, ensuring that individuals irrespective of their physical or cognitive limitations have equal access to information, environments, and experiences. Accessibility encompasses various domains including web content, physical spaces, transportation, and communication, promoting inclusivity and usability for all individuals.
