All oppression is interconnected – we can only address gender inequality by working simultaneously to eradicate other systems of oppression, like colonialism, homophobia, racism, ableism and transphobia.
Put simply, ‘intersectionality’ is the concept that different aspects of a person's identity can expose them to overlapping forms of discrimination and marginalisation, that often exacerbate and compound each other. So, without an intersectional lens, our efforts to tackle inequalities and injustice towards women are likely to just end up perpetuating the very systems of inequalities that we are trying to dismantle.
Our research takes an intersectional approach to gender equality, that listens and gives a voice to all women, in all their diversities.
