Let's also remember what a new train means in terms of #accessibility and #barrierfree #inclusive travel. Step free access, escalators, ramps, signage, announcements. Space in the waiting area. Bus travel in Mexico has none of these attributes. #TrenMaya does.

Thirty-five days, thirty head-tilting contradictions: from elevators that *never* break to cafés that shun outdoor tables, from bullet-train punctuality to websites that “sleep” at night. Roll with me through Japan’s elegant chaos—where radical accessibility and rigid rule-books somehow coexist—and see why I left with a lighter suitcase, a happier stomach, and a head full of marvels.

🚽 „Toilette für alle“ ist ein wichtiger Beitrag zu einer inklusiven #Gesellschaft und der #Teilhabe am Gemeinwesen. Menschen mit komplexen Behinderungen, die keine herkömmliche #Rollstuhltoilette nutzen können, sind auf diese speziellen Einrichtungen angewiesen. Die #Toiletten sind mit einer Liege und einem Lifter ausgestattet, wodurch es möglich wird, Inkontinenzartikel im Liegen zu wechseln. Sie stellen eine bedeutende Maßnahme dar, um die Umsetzung der UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention im Land voranzutreiben.

💪 Die „Toilette für alle“ in der Europahalle Karlsruhe ist mittlerweile eine von insgesamt 101 solchen Einrichtungen im Land.
Staatssekretärin Dr. Ute Leidig hat diese gemeinsam mit dem Landesverband für Menschen mit Körper- und Mehrfachbehinderung Baden-Württemberg e.V. sowie Vertreterinnen und Vertretern der Stadt Karlsruhe feierlich eröffnet:
„Jetzt können auch alle, die auf eine speziell ausgestattete Toilette angewiesen sind, die Europahalle besuchen und die Sportevents miterleben. Das ist gelebte #Vielfalt, das ist echte #Inklusion.“

#GovernmentOfCanada is developing new #accessibility regulations as part of the #AccessibleCanadaAct, with the goal of making #workplaces #BarrierFree for #PeopleWithDisabilities by 2040. In partnership with the #Canadian National Institute for the #Blind #CNIB & with funding from #AccessibilityStandards #Canada, we spoke to #employers about the barriers, needs, and enablers when it comes to hiring, supporting & retaining #PwDs.

Since I think a lot about word choices and usage that can center or exclude, this piece by Sara Hendren was interesting https://sarahendren.substack.com/p/six-verbs-for-accessible-design. I propose one replacement in her word pairs that contrast approaches to design thinking: I'd use "center" in place of "accommodate", which feels too close in meaning to "mitigate" as the other word in that pair. You?
