A Person, Not a Label: Ukraine's Barrier-Free Terminology Standard
A C2 Ukrainian reading on the Barrier-Free Terminology standard approved on 1 October 2026: recommended wording, the principles behind it and the limits of its recommendations.
Person-centred Ukrainian wording of different structures: a prepositional phrase («людина з інвалідністю»), a genitive phrase («людина старшого віку»), a participial phrase («дитина, позбавлена батьківського піклування») and a relative clause («людина, яка пересувається на кріслі колісному»).
Based on the official standard, the text explains how and why certain labels for people are replaced with descriptive wording, and where the standard itself limits its recommendations.
