Dan Pescod, Vice-Chair of the World Blind Union Global R2R Campaign and Campaigns Manager at the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) makes the case for a proposed WIPO treaty for Improved Access for Blind, Visually Impaired and other Reading Disabled Persons. The treaty is an important step towards ending the book famine and would open new horizons to print disabled people. It would facilitate access to education, culture, information and entertainment for millions of people. And if they embrace it governments would show that they are serious about ending the exclusion of millions of print disabled people from the joys and benefits of reading.
