Societal Norms

← Back to Our Manifesto

No institution, secular or religious, is permitted to differentially value or deny opportunities on the basis of gender and should use inclusive language in all communications and interactions with society.

WHAT?

  • Equal access to community facilities regardless of gender.
  • All jobs have gender neutral titles (Police Officer not Policeman).
  • Job role images are gender balanced and gender neutral.
  • No institution, secular or religious, is permitted to differentially value or deny access to roles on the basis of their gender.

HOW?

  • Call out outdated gender norms and behaviours.
  • Public education campaigns on the negative impact of stereotypes, bias and non-genderneutral language.
  • School curriculum review to eliminate gendered language.
  • Develop gender neutral toolkits and writing style guides.
