A Step toward Digital Accessibility
We use Recite Me – a web accessibility tool that allows you to use our website in the way that works best for you.
Why web accessibility matters
- Domestic violence can affect anyone, which means that everyone needs access to information about violence and healthy relationships.
- 1 in 4 people in the United States has a disability. This includes people with dyslexia, intellectual or developmental disabilities, who are blind or have low vision, or who otherwise face barriers to information due to inaccessible websites.
- Everyone should be able to access our website in the language they are most comfortable. Recite Me provides text translation for more than 100 languages, as well as 35 text to speech voices.
How Do I Use Recite Me?
Start by clicking the Accessibility button in the top right corner of our website. This will activate the Recite Me toolbar.
