Accessibility Statement

Humanity Media is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. humanitymedia.net is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA.
"Partially conformant" means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Measures to support accessibility

Humanity Media takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of humanitymedia.net:

  • Automated accessibility testing against WCAG 2.1 AA is run on a recurring schedule, most recently on September 2, 2026.
  • Issues identified by testing are tracked and remediated in the site's source code, not masked by an overlay.
  • An accessibility toolbar is available on every page (the icon in the corner of the screen) offering contrast, text size, spacing, dyslexia-friendly font, reading guide, and motion controls. The toolbar is hosted on this site and sends no data to third parties.
  • Accessibility is included in ongoing maintenance and content review.

Known issues

Despite our best efforts, the most recent automated test (September 2, 2026) identified the following areas that may not yet fully meet the standard. We are working to address them:

  • Images must have alternative text (WCAG 1.1.1) — found on 2 pages.
  • Form elements must have labels (WCAG 4.1.2) — found on 2 pages.
  • Image buttons must have alternative text (WCAG 1.1.1, 4.1.2) — found on 1 page.
  • Links must have discernible text (WCAG 2.4.4, 4.1.2) — found on 10 pages.
  • Elements must meet minimum color contrast ratio thresholds (WCAG 1.4.3) — found on 7 pages.
