Gender Equality Glossary and Thesaurus

"EIGE’s Gender Equality Glossary and Thesaurus is a specialised terminology tool focusing on the area of gender equality. It aims to foster a common understanding of gender equality terms across the EU and promote gender-fair and inclusive language to improve equality between women and men.

The Gender Equality Glossary and Thesaurus has been developed in cooperation with key stakeholders: European Commission, European Parliament and Council of Europe, as well as national machineries, academia and partners of EIGE’s Resource and Documentation Centre. The collection of terms was based on 92 sources from the European Union, Council of Europe and United Nations normative and policy documents, studies, reports and scientific articles.

The glossary contains over 400 terms in English with their definitions and sources. In the future, it will be linked with EuroVoc, the multi-lingual EU-wide thesaurus, and it will be available in all EU languages."
