Hungary’s Act on Equal Treatment and Promotion of Equal Opportunities is designed to protect individuals from discrimination in various areas, including digital accessibility. The law requires both public and private sector organizations to ensure that their websites and online services are accessible to people with disabilities. This includes following international accessibility standards, such as WCAG 2.1, to ensure that people with diverse abilities can access and navigate digital platforms.

The law mandates compliance with WCAG 2.1, ensuring that websites and digital services are accessible to all users, including those who rely on assistive technologies. The key requirements include providing text alternatives for non-text content, making websites keyboard-navigable, ensuring proper contrast for readability, and providing accessible multimedia content such as captions and transcripts. Additionally, digital platforms must be compatible with screen readers and other assistive devices to offer equal access to information and services.

The Act on Equal Treatment and Promotion of Equal Opportunities applies to all public sector organizations, government agencies, and private companies offering public services in Hungary. These organizations must ensure their websites and online services are accessible to all individuals, including those with diverse abilities.
