Language creates awareness and images - lecture on gender-sensitive use of language on International Women's Day on March 8

Language creates awareness and images and therefore realities. And language is always changing. However, it is not enough to think about women linguistically; women want to be visible in language. The keynote lecture by Prof. Dr. Stephanie^Goeke on March 8, 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., at the Ludwigsburg District Office, Hindenburgstraße 40, large conference room, is dedicated to this topic^.

Since 1911, women have been celebrating "International Women's Day", which draws attention to women's rights and gender equality worldwide. The day is intended to celebrate the achievements of women's rights movements to date, draw attention to existing discrimination and inequalities and encourage people to work towards equality for women themselves.
