Information and communication technology has become inevitable for people. In this digital era, websites and applications are the key mediums to access information, services, and opportunities. Without complete digital access, businesses can't innovate, reach, and grow. It is also crucial for countries’ economic growth.
Thus, 墨西哥正在制定其网络可访问性标准，以确保其公民和经济增长的最大可访问性. 中小型企业可以通过在其系统中包含可访问性而受益于更多的用户参与.
墨西哥已经开始采取重要措施，通过承认每个人都能平等获得数字信息的重要性，来改善和维持其数字存在. If you are operating a website/application in Mexico, it is not only your moral duty but legal obligation to own an accessible website.

墨西哥的无障碍法律法规以及对数字产品的要求!
《pg电子竞技》(LGIPD)是墨西哥关于无障碍法规的主要法律. The law was published on May 30th, 2011, and last revised on December 12th, 2015. LGIPD是根据墨西哥合众国政治宪法第1条制定的, which focuses on prioritizing the human rights of all Mexicans. The law was made in the observation of the National Council of Human Rights.
《pg电子竞技》第一节第二条阐明了确保残疾人在身体能力平等的基础上完全实现数字无障碍的相关措施.
Chapter 10, Article 32, 墨西哥无障碍法第一节要求当局应侧重于一些无障碍措施, such as:
及时、免费地以无障碍格式向所有人提供数字信息.
Promote Mexican Sign Language usage including the Braille System.
Institutions that are directly connected to social services and programs, 必须提供信息和必要的建议，以支持残疾用户的发展和社会融合.
为公众提供信息和其他服务的私营部门组织和媒体机构应确保其内容格式易于获取和理解.
负责监管电信服务的墨西哥政府机构(联邦电信研究所- IFT)于2016年11月发布了新的《pg电子竞技》. 该指导方针有一系列服务提供者和公司应该遵循的行动，以提供平等的信息和服务机会.
第24条订明，营办商及授权电讯服务机构应促进人人(包括残疾人士)取得及使用电讯服务. They must comply with WCAG's latest standards’ conformance level AA, which implies all documents, videos, guides, and/or tutorials must be accessible as per suggested guidelines.
In July 2014, IFT在联邦通信和广播法(LFTR)第161条中强制要求电视频道在视频中加入字幕，以改善听力问题用户的可访问性.

The Reason behind the profound level of inaccessibility in the state!
The Web accessibility guidelines are still underdeveloped in Mexico, but the broader legal framework prioritizes digital inclusivity. As mentioned above, telecommunication and ICT services must be accessible to everyone; however, the law doesn’t contain whole information about website guidelines, it prioritizes the significance of ensuring accessible digital content.
Legal consequences for non-compliance
尽管墨西哥在关注网络可访问性的数字立法方面远远落后于其他州, 所有组织都应该遵守推荐的法律和指导方针，以实现包容性. 如果一个组织被发现在数字领域不遵守或故意歧视残疾用户, it might end up facing lawsuits or penalties.
Moreover, 对数字产品日益增长的依赖使得组织必须遵守可访问性法律来维护其品牌声誉. 不可访问性可能导致用户粘性降低，最终导致转化率下降. Thus, achieving accessibility is anyways in favor of organizations.
Path to achieving web accessibility in Mexico!
To ensure website accessibility,
Inclusive web design is mandatory.
从网站开发的一开始就结合可访问性标准可以更容易地实现可访问性目标.
Accessibility maintenance is required.
To maintain web accessibility, regular website audit, testing, and remediation are expected to be done. Automated tools and manual checks can be done to perform audit and testing.
Common mistakes need extra vigilance.
Most websites contain errors like missing alt text and/or closed captioning, or improper keyboard navigation. These are the common but significant problems behind website inaccessibility.
More awareness is needed.
Train and educate more workforce about accessibility and its importance. It will help improve the situation.
