 The IPA and its members welcome the entry into force of the Marrakesh Treaty and with it a new era of equality and inclusivity for visually impaired readers. This is a key milestone in the history of accessibility to reading and the IPA is very proud to be part of it. Marrakesh gives publishers a clear mandate to provide even more works in accessible formats. The IPA also co-founded the Accessible Books Consortium with WIPO, the World Blind Union and IFLA. The Accessible Book Consortium's goal is to complement the Marrakesh Treaty by increasing the number of accessible format books worldwide. Today the IPA is working with its members to ensure publishers are fully apprised of the Marrakesh Treaty's importance for publishing. We want more publishers to make more of their works commercially available in accessible formats at the moment of publication and we want them to work more closely with their local authorised entities.
