Language Barriers And Gender Inequalities: Examining The Impact On Women's Access To Resources And Opportunities In Algerian Society

Authors : Hamane Saraya .

Abstract

This paper delves into the intersection of language barriers and gender inequalities in Algerian society, focusing on their impact on women's access to resources and opportunities. Through a comprehensive analysis, it investigates how language-related limitations, such as restricted linguistic proficiency and unequal language educational policies, exacerbate existing gender disparities. By examining the socio-cultural context and historical factors shaping language dynamics in Algeria, the study aims to illuminate the multifaceted challenges faced by women in accessing education, employment, and social mobility. Additionally, it explores potential strategies and policy interventions to mitigate these inequalities and promote equitable opportunities for women within the linguistic landscape of Algeria.
