Category: Intersectionality

The term intersectionality defines the notion that social identities, such as race, ethnicity, gender identity, biological sex, sexual orientation, age, socio-economic status, disability/ability, marital status, migration status, religion, and education, overlap and intersect in dynamic ways that shape each individual and their experiences. An organization’s gender equality approach and initiatives require the recognition and integration of all intersectional identities in order to be truly inclusive.

Has your organization analyzed how its policies may impact each gender as well as other social identities differently?

How does your organization address intersectionality within its workers’ rights policies (e.g. human rights, employee rights, or human resources policies)?
