Accessibility

What we aim for, what we have built in, what we know is still wrong, and how to tell us.

What we are aiming for

We want this site to be usable by everyone who wants to take part in Àwùjọ, including people who browse with a screen reader, a keyboard alone, magnification, or reduced motion.

We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA. We have not been independently audited against it, so please read what follows as a description of the work we have done rather than as a certification.

What we have built in

These are measures that are in the site today, not intentions:

On phones and tablets, every button, link and control is at least 44 × 44 pixels, so targets are reachable without precise aim. On larger screens, where pointing is usually more precise, the navigation row is smaller than that but still meets the 24 × 24 pixel minimum we aim for.
Text contrast is checked automatically against a 4.5:1 minimum on every text element across every page, in both its resting and its hover state.
Pinch-zoom is never disabled and text can be scaled to 200% without loss of content.
A skip to content link is the first thing a keyboard user reaches on every page.
Every focusable element shows a visible focus outline.
The mobile menu is fully operable by keyboard and closes with Escape.
If your system asks for reduced motion, animation is switched off rather than shortened.
No body text is smaller than 13px.
Every image carries alternative text, and decorative images are marked so screen readers skip them rather than announcing them.

How we test

Every change to this site runs through automated contrast and accessibility checks before it can ship, and we walk the site by keyboard alone at phone, small-phone and tablet widths.

We are also clear about the limit of that: automated tools find roughly a third of accessibility problems. They cannot tell whether a label makes sense, whether a reading order is logical, or whether an error message actually helps. That is why the section below exists.

What we know is not right yet

There is no dark mode.
The site is written in English with Yorùbá terms throughout, and is not fully translated into Yorùbá.
We have had no independent accessibility audit, so problems we have not thought to look for will still be here.

If you have hit a barrier on this site that is not listed above, we would rather hear it than not know. Please tell us — see below.

Tell us about a barrier

If any part of this site stops you doing something you came to do, please tell us what you were trying to do and what happened. You do not need to know why it failed or use any particular terminology.

We read every accessibility report that reaches us and will reply to you directly.

About this statement

This statement was prepared on 17 August 2026 by self-assessment, supported by automated testing. It describes the site as it is now, not as we intend it to be.

We review this statement when the site changes materially.
