It includes organizations that represent people with print disabilities such as the World Blind Union (WBU); libraries for the blind; standards bodies, and organizations representing authors, publishers and collective management organizations. Our goal is to increase the number of books worldwide in accessible formats - such as braille, audio, e-text, large print – and to make them available to people who are blind, have low vision or are otherwise print disabled.Contact us

The Marrakesh VIP Treaty makes possible the production and transfer of accessible books across national boundaries. This landmark Treaty was adopted on June 27, 2013 by the member states of WIPO, and came into force on September 30, 2016 after ratification by 20 of those states. ABC is one initiative to implement the Marrakesh VIP Treaty at an operational level. * Full list of countries that have ratified the Treaty * Inaugural Marrakesh AssemblyTHE GLOBAL CONTEXT
Some 253 million people worldwide are visually impaired, according to the World Health Organization's 2018 estimates. More than 90% of these are resident in developing countries, where the World Blind Union (WBU) estimates that people who are blind have only a one in ten chance of going to school or getting a job. The lack of accessible books is a very real barrier to getting an education and leading an independent, productive life. The WBU estimates that less than 10% of all published materials can be read by blind or low vision people.VIDEO ON
