For the last four years, the GoTitleFree team has been gathering thoughts, feelings and emotions about marital status titles; creating statistics to build a business case for organisations who must go on this journey to futureproof their business, as well as commit to inclusive practices.

When the GoTitleFree campaign started, the first point of discussion was where marital status titles were used. We asked ourselves where we see titles relating to marriage and gender in day to day life. Very quickly we realised that… we mostly don’t. We don’t use them between friends.
