Accessibility Statement

Our platforms are architected to satisfy the four core pillars of digital accessibility:

• Perceivable: High contrast ratios (minimum 4.5:1 for body text) and explicit text alternatives for non-text assets.
• Operable: 100% of functional components operable purely via keyboard navigation with visible focus rings.
• Understandable: Consistent navigation patterns, predictable interactions, and explicit validation messaging.
• Robust: Semantic HTML5 and WAI-ARIA conformance ensuring compatibility with modern assistive technologies.

Comprehensive native language integration honoring national linguistic diversity:

• Native Kurdish Sorani (`ku`) typography, tailored letter-spacing, and bidirectional RTL layout alignment.
• Native Arabic (`ar`) typography using institutional Arabic font hierarchies and native RTL layout mirroring.
• English (`en`) international alignment with seamless LTR component inversion.
• Dynamic synchronization of document `lang` and `dir` attributes across routing transitions.

End-to-end optimizations ensuring seamless assistive technology interoperability:

• Skip-to-main-content anchor providing instantaneous navigation past repetitive header landmarks.
• Prominent high-visibility focus indicators across all interactive form controls and hyperlinks.
• Rigorous screen reader testing and validation against NVDA, JAWS, and Apple VoiceOver.
• Modal dialog focus trapping with seamless escape-key dismissal preventing keyboard trapping.

Accessibility at IDG represents an active, iterative engineering discipline:

• Monthly automated audits leveraging Axe-core and Lighthouse accessibility CI checks.
• Manual assistive evaluations conducted prior to each major product version deployment.
• Open institutional feedback loop actively resolving citizen-reported accessibility barriers.
