World Blind Union/Union mondiale des aveugles

World Blind Union advocates for the rights and interests of blind and partially sighted people globally, with a Toronto-based office contributing to international efforts. The organization works to ensure equal access to culture, education, employment, and social participation for people living with vision loss. Through partnerships with member organizations across multiple continents, World Blind Union develops policy positions, conducts research, and delivers programs that address barriers faced by blind and partially sighted individuals. The arts and culture focus includes advancing accessibility in museums, theaters, literary works, and digital media so that vision loss does not exclude people from creative experiences. World Blind Union operates with blind and partially sighted people in leadership roles, centering the expertise and perspectives of those with lived experience in all decision-making.
