Intersectionality

The concept of intersectionality serves to highlight how various biological, social, religious and cultural categorisations interact with one another. This enables us to recognise the multidimensional character of injustice against women (particularly black women and working-class women). Intersectionality therefore seeks to identify a system of oppression that takes us beyond the traditional feminist conception of male oppression.
