Accessibility statement

Last updated: 2026-07-06

Our commitment

Amnesty International Lazio is committed to making its website usable by the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities. Accessibility is part of the human-rights values we defend. This statement is made voluntarily: as a territorial branch of a Volunteer Organisation, we are not among the entities required to publish an accessibility declaration under Italian Law 4/2004, but we choose to be transparent about it.

Conformance status

This website aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA, and to the European standard EN 301 549. Based on an internal self-assessment (no third-party audit yet), the site is currently partially conformant: most content meets the requirements, while some parts described below may not yet fully comply.

Accessibility measures already in place include:

• Clearly visible keyboard focus on all interactive elements.
• Text and interface colour contrast reviewed to meet the AA thresholds.
• Content that reflows without horizontal scrolling down to small screens, and text that can be zoomed/enlarged (zoom is never disabled).
• No orientation lock: pages work in both portrait and landscape, including the installable app.
• Semantic HTML, form labels, ARIA attributes and alternative text for meaningful images.
• Third-party maps load only after your consent, so no content is imposed before choice.

Mobile devices

The site is responsive and designed mobile-first: layout, text size and touch targets adapt to phones and tablets. There is no dedicated mobile app subject to separate obligations; the optional "install to home screen" feature (PWA) delivers the same accessible web content. The accessibility criteria most relevant to mobile — orientation, reflow, zoom and target spacing — have been verified.

Known limitations

Despite our efforts, some content may not be fully accessible:

• Archived newsletters and some documents (e.g. PDFs) produced by the national organisation may not meet all criteria.
• Embedded third-party maps (OpenStreetMap) depend on the provider and are offered only as an optional, consent-based aid.
• Some older images may lack a full text alternative; we correct these as we find them.

Assessment method

Conformance was evaluated through an internal self-assessment combining automated checks and manual testing (keyboard navigation, contrast, mobile reflow and target size). We have not yet carried out an external certified audit.

Feedback and contact

Enforcement (national level)

For services that are legally required to be accessible, the supervisory body in Italy is the Agency for Digital Italy (AgID). Note that this voluntary statement concerns a website that is not among the subjects obliged under Law 4/2004.
