Our Commitment
The Gender Centre Inc. is committed to ensuring that this website is accessible to everyone. If you have any questions or comments regarding the accessibility of this website, please contact us as we are continually striving to improve the experience for all visitors.
Website Navigation
A website of this magnitude requires a form of navigation that lays out it's wide-ranging contents in as logical and concise a manner as possible. We have therefore opted for a drop-down menu.
While the use of a drop-down menu is highly convenient for many, we also acknowledge that it is largely unable to be used by viewers who do not, or cannot operate a mouse. To aid accessibility and usability, the drop-down menu will function as intended for those navigating our website with their keyboard with JavaScript turned "on" in almost all modern web browsers, and for those without JavaScript enabled, the contents of the website should appear in the footer at the end of each page within the website.
Alternatively, links to pages within the drop-down menu are also available to those that navigate our website via their keyboard via our Site Map.
