This glossary serves as a guide to key terms used within the website and #womenenergize expert overview. It explains professional levels, roles, and categories that help illustrate the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and contributions of those shaping the global energy transition.
The energy transition is just as diverse as the people shaping it. With women*, we want to make visible all those who feel they belong to the female spectrum. Regardless of their gender identity. In principle, we include all people who are perceived as women under the terms „woman“ and „women.“ To promote an intersectional approach, we use the asterisk to indicate this. The * stands for openness, inclusion and the recognition of lived diversity.
Women* = women and feminized people
Female* = women and feminized people
