If a woman is addressed only by a relation term instead of a respectful professional address at work, what problem can arise?

Correct answer: Her professional identity and work role may be seen as less important

Addressing a woman at work only by a relation term, such as “sister” or “sister-in-law”, can undermine attention to her designation, skills and professional role. Using her name or professional title supports equality and workplace respect. Greater authority, equal pay or promotion do not automatically result merely from a form of address. Exam tip: In questions on gender equality, focus on professional identity, dignity and equal opportunity.
