Intersectionality in Inclusion Strategies

Intersectionality in inclusion strategies refers to understanding how different aspects of a person's identity—such as race, gender, sexuality, disability, and socioeconomic status—interact and create unique experiences of privilege or disadvantage. This approach recognizes that people's experiences are shaped by multiple overlapping factors, and effective inclusion strategies must consider these complexities. By applying intersectionality, organizations can create more equitable environments that address the specific needs and challenges faced by diverse individuals, rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach. This fosters genuine inclusivity and helps ensure that all voices are heard and valued.
