Web Accessibility Statement

The Women’s Forum of New York is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide a website experience that is inclusive, clear, and easy to navigate, and we continuously work to improve accessibility across our site.

Standards and Conformance

WomensForumNY.org aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA.

At this time, the website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content may not fully meet the accessibility standard. This may include certain third-party content or tools, such as embedded videos, audio players, or external platforms, which are not fully controlled by The Women’s Forum of New York.

We are committed to ongoing monitoring and remediation to improve accessibility and address identified issues.

Compatibility with Browsers and Assistive Technology

WomensForumNY.org is designed to be compatible with the most recent versions of major web browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

The website is built using technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and WAI-ARIA to support compatibility with common assistive technologies, including:

Screen readers (such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver)
Speech recognition software
Keyboard-only navigation
Alternative input devices

Older browsers, including Internet Explorer, may not provide an optimal experience.

Visual Presentation and Color Distinction

Within our online calendar, dates outside of the current month are visually distinguished using lighter styling. These dates remain readable and fully accessible to screen readers and keyboard users. No essential information is conveyed by color alone, and contextual cues such as calendar structure, headings, and accessible markup ensure that all date information is available to assistive technology users.

Known Limitations

While we strive to ensure accessibility across our website, certain third-party content or integrations may not fully conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. If you encounter difficulty accessing any part of our site, we encourage you to contact us so we can provide assistance or alternative access.
