Union Minister for Women and Child Development and Minority Affairs, Smriti Zubin Irani, is set to unveil the “Guide on Gender-Inclusive Communication” on November 28, 2023, at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi.
Collaborative Effort for Gender Inclusivity
The guide’s launch is a collaborative effort involving the Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD), the National Gender and Child Centre (NGCC), Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) in Mussoorie, with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and UN Women.
Empowering ‘Nari Shakti’
Aligned with the government’s commitment to strengthen ‘Nari Shakti,’ MWCD continues its initiatives to promote gender equality and empowerment. The guide signifies a crucial milestone in this journey, reflecting MWCD’s dedication to creating a society where women not only become equal partners in the nation’s development but also contribute to the overarching vision of ‘Women-led Development’ as envisioned by the Prime Minister.
Role of Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration
The tireless efforts of Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration, Mussoorie, have played a pivotal role in ensuring that gender-inclusive communication becomes an integral part of everyday administrative outreach to citizens. The Academy’s training of civil servants focuses on institutionalizing a gender-just administrative framework. LBSNAA aims to incorporate insights from the guide, ensuring its principles become practical components of administrative practices. This collaborative effort reinforces MWCD’s commitment to fostering a gender-inclusive and empowered nation, aligning with its vision for a more equitable and just society.
