The eNOTUM public employee portal has been revised and modified to incorporate the inclusive view of language in its content. Changes in society are constant and the increasingly diverse and complex reality must be reflected, too, in the way we address everyone who makes use of our services.
In this case, we have placed special interest in the use of inclusive language from a gender perspective. In Catalan, as in most languages, the use of the masculine gender has been used as the equivalent of the neuter gender, contributing to the mental configuration of masculine images that exclude women.
An inclusive language from a gender perspective makes the masculine and feminine gender visible in an equal way and allows for full name and expression. Thus, we have replaced the generic masculine with collective nouns and abstract nouns.
This initiative, now implemented at eNOTUM, will be extended in the coming months to the other services offered by the AOC.
