The internet is full of marvelous sights and sounds and it often does not cater for people who are blind or have vision impairments. But Georgia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs has found a solution to this problem and developed its official website to allow Georgia’s blind community to engage with the country’s official news.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs collaborated with Georgia’s Union of Blind People to create an audio version of the website, which can be accessed at www.voice.police.ge.
The website aimed to provide information to those with vision problems.
The Ministry is the first Governmental institute to create a special website for people with disabilities.
People with disabilities should be treated with dignity and respect, and Georgia is doing all it can to support these vulnerable people, says the country’s Prime Minister.
Children with disabilities and special needs living in Georgia will receive increased financial aid and special services for the next year.
Hundreds of disabled people living in Georgia’s eastern Kakheti region are able to live safer and in a more comfortable environment with the opening of a new social centre, worth almost $100,000 USD.
Tbilisi City Hall will now serve visitors with its renewed public service centre fully adapted for people with various disabilities.
