Tips for Gender Sensitive Communication
1) Making both women’s and men’s voice heard:
To be truly equal, women and men must be seen and heard to be equal.
-Who are beneficiaries of this intervention, event, publication?-Let them voice their feedback/comments-Interview both males and females beneficiaries, experts-Have both women and men in panels-Have women and men in photos- And increase stories about women beneficiaries and heroes!

•Traditionally, masculine nouns and pronouns used to refer to both sexes•However, increasingly, readers do not understand “man” to be synonymous with “people”•As more women appear in public realm, avoid using the language that “erases” or “misrepresents” women and contributes to gender inequality
•He s/he, they•Mankind humankind•Chairman chairperson•Businessmanbusiness manager•Fatherland native land•Mother tonguenative language•Dear Sir Dear Sir/Madam, Dear Editor•Miss/Mrs Ms.•Lady woman•Manly strong, mature•Weak half of humanity the oppostive sex•Motherly loving, warm, nurturing
