More Than GenderWhen looking at how race, caste, class, sexuality, and disability intersect in the lives of women.
Origin of TermScholar Kimberlé Crenshaw first introduced the term "intersectionality" in her work on traditional feminism.
Experiences of StruggleThe intersectional approach tells us that a Dalit woman, a queer woman, and an upper-caste woman may all experience some form of sexism.
It Calls for Inclusive ChangeThis also means that whenever a policy or activism is founded on intersectionality, it is designed to be inclusive.
Everyone Has a Role to PlayWhether you are an ally, an advocate, or still learning, intersectional feminism empowers all of us to reflect on our roles and take action.
