Alt Text: It's Just Good Design
Alt text (alternative text) isn't an extra step: it's essential for our digital space.

Alt text is about access: It ensures everyone, including those using screen readers, can understand the image and context.

Alt text is about integrity: It shows we're committed to building inclusive platforms.

Alt text is about self-respect: It honours your audience and the effort put into your content.

I alt text everything and only boost images with proper descriptions.

Making your spaces accessible is a non-negotiable part of ethical design.

It’s how we create systems where every touchpoint feels like care.

Also because I haven't said it yet and it's good luck for the new year: THANK YOU & I LOVE YOU.

#A11y #EthicalTech #DigitalCare

>>>> What was the impact of the APC network in the past year?

We helped women human rights defenders #WHRDs work safely online, strengthened their networks and centred their concerns in policy spaces.

Through our work with #SafetyforVoices, we impacted nearly 1,000 women across 48 countries in Asia-Pacific, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East and North Africa.
