Hello,

Success Criterion 3.2.4 (Consistent Identification)
"A link to the Contact Us page of a Web site has the link text "Contact". At the bottom of the page there is a link that also goes to the Contact Us page. It also has the link text "Contact"." ref. http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/G197,
Sometimes it is difficult to change the link text to be the same. Example:


The organization activities include:


- Helping mothers to understand how to deal with new babies
-
....... (later at the end of the page)

Courses we offer :
- Your newborn care
-
-

The two links go to the same page. Do you think adding title="Your newborn care" on the first link can be a way to make a consistent identification for the links?

Thank you,
Rabab
