EIGE's Gender Equality Glossary & 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The concepts and definitions found in this glossary were published in 2016, and some may be out-of-date. EIGE is currently looking into which terms may need to be updated in the future.
