Glossary of Gender Equality

This UNDP Glossary of Gender Equality provides Armenian-language translation of key gender definitions and concepts commonly used in international policy and academic discourse. Developed to address linguistic gaps and misconceptions around gender terminology, the glossary supports policymakers, researchers, educators, and practitioners in using consistent and culturally relevant gender equality terminology. Gender equality discourse in Armenia has often been shaped by direct borrowings from English, frequently without adaptation to Armenian linguistic norms. While these borrowings reflect global influence, they have also contributed to the perception that gender equality is a foreign concept, disconnected from Armenian cultural and intellectual traditions. This perception has created a communicative gap both linguistic and conceptual that limits broader engagement with gender-related issues. The Glossary of Gender Equality directly addresses this gap.
