Non-Discriminatory Language Practices

Non-discriminatory language practices involve using words and phrases that promote inclusivity and respect for all individuals, regardless of their background, identity, or characteristics. This means avoiding language that stereotypes, marginalizes, or offends any group, such as those defined by gender, race, ability, or sexual orientation. Instead, it emphasizes precise, neutral terms that acknowledge diversity and foster understanding. By adopting non-discriminatory language, we create a more equitable and welcoming environment for everyone, ensuring that communication is respectful and accessible.
