This accessibility statement applies to www.unia.be.

Compliance status

This website has the AnySurfer label, and therefore fully complies with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 level A. This website partly complies with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 level AA, because the requirements below have not been met.

The Federal Public Service Policy and Support (BOSA) also conducted an audit. The audit report (FR) indicates that the website is partially compliant.

No textual alternative for lightboxes

When the visitor clicks on an image, it opens in a pop-up window (lightbox). The cross located at the top right to close this window has an alternative text of "x" instead of the more explicit word "close". For technical reasons, it is not possible to adapt it.

Less explicit hyperlinks

On some of the older web pages, the purpose of certain 'read more' or 'show more' links may only be deduced from the surrounding text. We are working to make these links accessible so that the purpose of each link is clear.

An exemption for archives

Www.unia.be has an extensive database of articles, publications, case law and legislation on discrimination and racism. This archive sometimes still contains old PDF files that are not fully accessible. Also pdf-files we received from external parties (e.g. scans of jurisprudence) are not always in accordance with the rules. Do you come across such an appendix and is it not accessible to you? If so, be sure to let webmaster@unia.be know, and we will then commit ourselves to making this document accessible to you.

We are preparing a new website to address these accessibility issues.

Drawing up this accessibility declaration

This accessibility statement was drawn up on 06/03/2023 on the basis of an assessment by AnySurfer in January and February 2023. The website will be re-screened in March 2025.
