Proposition de loi visant la féminisation des distinctions honorifiques dans les Ordres nationaux.

Stage en_commissionUpdated 3mo ago

This is a Belgian bill, submitted to the Chamber of Representatives, that would change the wording of honours and titles awarded under Belgium's national orders so that they use feminine forms where appropriate. The aim is to make the official language of these distinctions reflect women as well as men. Based on the title alone, the bill does not appear to alter who can receive an honour or how awards are granted. The change would mainly affect the official designations used for members and recipients of Belgian national orders, and the people who receive them, particularly women. Public administration and the bodies that issue these honours would need to adopt the new terminology. The full text would show the exact scope.
