Description
On the website, there are instances where images are used within links without appropriate alternative text. This results in empty links, which can be confusing and inaccessible for users relying on screen readers or those with visual impairments.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install Wave Testing Extension from chrome store
  2. Navigate to the specified page on the website.
  3. Use the WAVE extension to scan the webpage for accessibility issues.
  4. See error

Expected behavior
Images within links should have descriptive alternative text that accurately conveys the content or function of the link. This ensures that users with disabilities, including those using screen readers, can understand the purpose of the link.
