Language and communication play a pivotal role in shaping our attitudes and behaviours and norms in society. They hold significant potential for not only supporting but also promoting gender equality.
This guide is designed to offer a broad and practical approach to using language and communication effectively to support gender equality.
Language and communication constantly evolve as we continually strive to strengthen and uphold gender equality. This guide therefore reflects a context-specific moment in time.
In this guide, we focus primarily on a gender-inclusive approach to language and communication. The aim is to strengthen the focus on both gender and intersecting inequalities such as age, ethnicity, migrant background, disability and sexual orientation.
