The emergence of the anthropocentric paradigm and theory responds to the necessity of reevaluating evolving realities, where traditional methods for investigating social phenomena diminish in significance. This signifies a profound shift in science, introducing innovative research approaches. This study aims to view gender terminology and methodology as cognitive structures facilitating effective communication within human rights discourse. Contemporary Gender Studies demand a societal dynamic transformation, notably through Gender Mainstreaming (GM), which predominantly addresses marginalized groups. The study posits that gender language warrants careful examination. Analyzing gender terminology within GM reveals intricate, intriguing, and occasionally contentious aspects.
