Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) is an annual event aimed at raising awareness and promoting dialogue about digital access and inclusion for individuals with disabilities. Held on the third Thursday of May each year, GAAD encourages people worldwide to reflect on the importance of designing digital platforms, technologies, and content that are accessible to all. Through various activities, events, and educational initiatives, GAAD fosters a greater understanding of the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and advocates for the creation of more inclusive digital environments. By encouraging collaboration and sharing best practices, GAAD strives to empower communities to work towards a more accessible and equitable digital future for everyone.
