What is intersectionality?
This theory highlights the power relationships which exist between various groups. [..]The term “intersectionality” is used to describe the multiplicity and interconnectednessof various types of discrimination and how these relate to domination and oppression.i.e., the exploitation of one social group by another. Intersectional analysis calls for us toacknowledge our privileges, defined as unearned advantages resulting from one’spersonal circumstances. While such analysis is not always easy, it is important to identifyand understand both who we are and the privileges we have, and determine whichcharacteristics represent either a privilege or an oppression in our environment.”Intersectionality,” The Canadian Encyclopedia,
