Non-accessible content

Despite our best efforts to ensure the accessibility of the WomenINvestEU website, we are aware of some limitations, which we are working to fix. Below is a description of known limitations and potential solutions. Please contact us if you encounter an issue not listed below.

Known limitations for the WomenINvestEU website:

  1. Video and image captions: Some of our videos or images do not have captions. We are continuously working on adding them to more videos.
  2. Video player – keyboard accessibility: We are aware of some issues with the keyboard accessibility of our video player (when selecting the caption language from the menu, it is not possible to use the arrow keys to move between languages, this can only be done with the TAB key).
  3. Heading hierarchy: Some headings do not follow the correct heading hierarchy, which can cause problems for screen reader users. We plan to fix this over the course of 2025.
  4. Sliding captcha: It is important to note that the sliding captcha is not accessible to deaf-blind users.
