YourTerm FEM
Women’s rights & other issues
YourTerm FEM focuses on a range of women’s right-related issues and contributes to talk about gender equality by providing an accurate multilingual terminology, including health professionals, researchers, policymakers, humanitarian workers, legal sector workers and ordinary citizens.
This project aims to create multilingual terminological databases containing concepts that are crucial to address women’s right issues, such as domestic violence, sexual violence, gender-based discrimination, economic justice, pay equity, women’s health, reproductive and justice rights, women’s representation in the media and global feminist issues.
It contains two glossaries, 2 compiled by various universities and designated as Batch 1 and Batch 2, and other sub-projects.
Violence Against Women
Violence against women – particularly intimate partner violence and sexual violence – is a major public health problem and a violation of women’s human rights. The fight against it is a very current topic and it is spread worldwide. Estimates published by WHO indicate that globally about 1 in 3 (30%) of women worldwide have been subjected to either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime. Violence against women is preventable, and this multilingual glossary aims at helping with the fight against it by providing related terminology.
This project is composed of two glossaries, compiled by various universities and designated as Batch 1 and Batch 2.
Gender identity is each person’s internal and individual experience of gender. It is a person’s sense of being a woman, a man, both, neither, or anywhere along the gender spectrum. A person’s gender identity may be the same as or different from their birth-assigned sex. It is a very current topic as people going through gender identity issues are fiercely demanding their rights.
