Poland launches accessibility campaign and implements new accessibility laws

The “Accessibility. Simply for Everyone” campaign has launched in Poland to promote inclusive design in daily life. The initiative emphasizes that accessibility features—such as subtitles in films, ramps at stations, automatic doors, and larger font sizes on phones—benefit not only people with disabilities but also seniors, parents with strollers, and travelers with heavy luggage.

This campaign follows years of accessibility initiatives in Poland, including the 2018–2025 accessibility program aimed at improving public spaces, transport, education, health, and digital services. A significant regulatory milestone, the Polish Accessibility Act, entered into force on June 28, 2025. This act implements the European Accessibility Act into Polish law, establishing accessibility requirements for various products and services, including e-commerce, electronic banking, e-books, payment terminals, ATMs, and passenger transport.
