(39)In order to guarantee access for persons with disabilities to all services and activities of equality bodies, it is necessary to ensure accessibility, in accordance with the requirements set out in Directive (EU) 2019/882 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote and to ensure reasonable accommodations in line with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, adopted on 13 December 2006. Therefore, equality bodies should ensure physical and digital accessibility by preventing and removing the barriers that persons with disabilities can face in accessing equality bodies’ services and information, and provide reasonable accommodations, making necessary and appropriate modifications and adjustments where needed in a particular case.
