Intersectionality in Advocacy

Intersectionality in advocacy is an approach that recognizes how different aspects of a person's identity—such as race, gender, class, and sexual orientation—interconnect to create unique experiences of advantage or discrimination. It emphasizes that individuals may face multiple, overlapping forms of inequality, and effective advocacy addresses these intertwined issues holistically. By understanding intersectionality, advocates can develop more inclusive and nuanced strategies to promote justice, ensuring that marginalized groups with layered identities are heard and supported genuinely.
