Spanish term or phrase: una de sus palabras de orden

...aunque una minoria no considere el antisexismo como una de sus palabras de orden.

Would this be 'one if the items oin its agenda' in the metaphorical sense?

More context in English:

As can be observed in this graph, the respondents consider themselves for the most part to be feminists or at least anti-sexist, and only one in fact did not feel one way or the other. What this would indicate is that they aspire to non-discriminatory gender relations and that they have created their identities from models of non-submissive woman. Likewise, the SMs in which they are militants are defined almost entirely as anti-sexist, although a minority do not consider that anti-sexism is one as ********.
