destinatarias

Destinatarias is the feminine plural form of destinataria, a noun and gendered modifier in Spanish. It refers to the recipients or addressees of a document, letter, package, or notice. The masculine or mixed-gender form is destinatarios, so destinatarias is typically used when all recipients are female or when the gender of the recipients is specified as feminine. In many contexts, especially in formal or bureaucratic language, the term identifies who is intended to receive or whom the communication is directed toward.

Usage and context can vary by field. In postal and logistics contexts, the destinataria is the person to whom a shipment is addressed. In legal and administrative settings, you may encounter phrases like las destinatarias de la notificación or las destinatarias del procedimiento, specifying the female recipients or parties. When referring to groups that include all genders, writers may use destinatarios y destinatarias or opt for a gender-neutral alternative such as las personas destinatarias, or simply the generic destinatarios.
