Accessibility Statement for Free Her Voice

Free Her Voice is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure our resources, support groups, and empowerment programs are available to all women, regardless of ability.

Free Her Voice (www.freehervoice.org) is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not yet fully conform to the accessibility standard (such as legacy PDF resources or third-party event widgets), but we are actively working to remediate these areas.

Logical Heading Structure: Using H1–H6 tags to allow screen reader users to navigate content easily.
