  • Summary

  • This episode explores Oxfam's Inclusive Language Guide and its significance in the international development sector, particularly focusing on Aotearoa's unique context: Te Tiriti o Waitangi and tangata whenua / Māori. Hosted by Oxfam’s own International Development Director Angela Wilton, this episode aims to shed light on the power of language in shaping perceptions, addressing inequality, and promoting inclusivity while recognising the Aotearoa New Zealand context. Angela is joined by Director at Reo Māori Mai, Ariana Stevens, to share her insights, her personal experiences, and the challenges we have here in Aotearoa in using inclusive language.


    This episode will aim to provide guidance on how to use inclusive language in communications, policies, and programmes, and encourage listeners - especially in the international development sector - to reflect on their own language use and its impact on promoting social justice and equality.
