Global Accessibility Awareness Day – A chance to broaden our perspectives

Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) on 16 May aims to raise awareness of the lack of accessibility in the tech space and challenges faced by people with disabilities. The day encourages everyone to analyze their assumptions, challenge them, and meet people with disabilities with an open mind. Inclusive Access Alliance, a disability-led ERG at HashiCorp, promotes inclusivity and accessibility in the workplace. GAAD highlights the importance of involving disabled individuals in the development of assistive technologies and emphasizes the motto "Nothing about us without us."
