The representation of women and men in media discourse is at risk of gender bias. In this section we refer to the intrinsic characteristics and to the traditional use of languages that may lead to an unequal representation of women.

Focusing on the grammatical features of different languages and the grammatical choices available to the speaker we also present examples of good practices for a gender-sensitive use of language. Furthermore we clarify how 'gender' is used in the AGEMI project; as well as how policy discourse reflects principles and norms. Useful resources and readings at the end of the unit.
