Addressing Gender Bias in Language Usage
In this letter addressed to the Government of India, Rajveer, a 10-year-old from Hyderabad, raises an important concern regarding gender bias in language usage. Rajveer’s maasi, who recently obtained her driver’s learning license, noticed that the document used exclusively male pronouns. This observation made Rajveer question why textbooks and official documents often use gender-specific terms, excluding women. Rajveer urges the government to take action to address this issue and prevent women from feeling marginalized. The letter concludes with gratitude for considering this matter.
