Participation, Accessibility, and Inclusion in MENA Communication Websites:
As of May 2023, 89 percent of the 15.2 million page views across the Help.unhcr.org websites in the MENA region were
accessed through mobile devices. UNHCR operations utilize audiovisual aids (such as videos, infographics or read-out-aloud
functionalities) on their websites to increase outreach and include people of low literacy levels or those with visual difficulties.
