The Lei Brasileira de Inclusão (Brazilian Inclusion Law) was enacted to promote the rights of individuals with diverse abilities in Brazil, ensuring they can fully participate in social, educational, and professional activities. The law mandates that both public and private entities take steps to eliminate barriers to access, including making digital content and services accessible. It aligns with international standards, ensuring digital environments are navigable by all users, including those who rely on assistive technologies.

The law requires that public and private entities make their digital content accessible, ensuring compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines. This includes providing text alternatives for non-text content, ensuring websites and apps are navigable by keyboard, maintaining appropriate color contrast for readability, and ensuring multimedia content is accessible through captions and transcripts. These guidelines ensure that individuals with neurodiverse conditions, hearing impairments, and other needs can easily access online services.

The Lei Brasileira de Inclusão applies to all public sector agencies, private companies that provide public services, and digital platforms that cater to the Brazilian population. The law requires these organizations to make their digital content fully accessible, ensuring equal access for all users, regardless of their abilities.
