Inclusive Language

Inclusive language refers to communication that aims to avoid excluding or discriminating against individuals or groups based on characteristics such as gender, race, age, ability, or other identities. By using words and phrases that are respectful and representative, inclusive language fosters a sense of belonging and equality. It encourages the use of gender-neutral terms (like "they" instead of "he/she"), and avoids stereotypes or assumptions. Ultimately, inclusive language helps create an environment where everyone feels valued and acknowledged, promoting understanding and reducing biases in both written and spoken forms.
