Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) this year is on 21 May 2026.
But why wait? Help make every day Global Accessibility Awareness Day.
Aim to make one small change every day to improve your website's accessibility.
If that is not practical for you then aim to do so once per week.
If all website administrators were to focus on improving digital accessibility then just imagine how much better the world would be for those who are currently digitally excluded.

Joomla! took the GAAD Pledge in 2024
Joomla took the GAAD Pledge in celebration of Global Accessibility Awareness Day 2024.
Quote:
"By embracing accessibility as a core value, Joomla reaffirms its commitment to creating an inclusive digital world where everyone, regardless of their abilities, can interact with and access Joomla-based websites."
The purpose of GAAD
The purpose of GAAD is to get everyone talking, thinking and learning about digital access and inclusion, and the more than One Billion people with disabilities and impairments.
The 2026 WebAIM Million Report identified that there is globally still a long way to go to provide equal opportunity of digital access.
Across the one million home pages, more than 56 million distinct accessibility errors were detected; an average of 56 errors per page. And the number of detected errors increased 10% when compared to the 2025 Report.
"Errors" are "WAVE-detected accessibility barriers having notable end user impact, and which have a very high likelihood of being WCAG 2.2 Level A/AA conformance failures".
