The Ministry of Health of Ukraine, together with the World Health Organization, has developed a bilingual glossary of gender equality, human rights, and health equity terms — a convenient reference tool for everyone working or communicating on these topics.
This resource helps to use key concepts responsibly and clearly — not only in the medical field but also in education, human rights, and policymaking. The glossary provides clear definitions and usage examples in both Ukrainian and English, reflecting the principles of gender sensitivity and respect for human rights, including the fundamental right of every person to health.
The glossary will be useful for healthcare professionals, educators, researchers, journalists, human rights defenders, activists, and all those involved in shaping policy or influencing social processes.
It is a bilingual glossary that explains key terms related to human rights, gender equality, and inclusiveness in health care. It helps to discuss these topics ethically and respectfully — both in professional settings and in the public sphere.
