The Supreme Court on Wednesday launched a handbook that contains a glossary of gender unjust terms in order to sensitise judges against using stereotypical words in their judgments.
The handbook contains alternative language to be used by the judges against a number of stereotype promoting terms that have been marked as incorrect now.
According to the handbook, street sexual harassment will replace the term eve-teasing while sex worker would be used in place of prostitute.
