The Supreme Court has released a 30-page guide on combating gender stereotypes in courtrooms. The handbook advises judges to avoid certain words and lawyers to use alternative terms. Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud stated that stereotypes in language affect case outcomes and promote regressive ideas about women. While the guide is important, societal changes are also necessary to eradicate these stereotypes. A gender-sensitive judiciary can encourage more women to seek justice without fear of victimization. It is crucial for language, both in and outside the legal system, to reflect equality and avoid sexist and patriarchal language.
