NON-SEXIST LANGUAGE

Sexism is discrimination on the basis of gender.

The language we use reflects and reinforces the values of the society in which we live. The English language has developed in a male-dominated, male-centred society. If you examine carefully how we usually express ourselves you will see how male-centred our language is.
Here you´ll find a guide to use English language in a non-sexist, gender neutral way. There is also a quiz to find out how inclusive your language is.
