What is Intersectionality?
Life would be simple if everything was black and white. But it’s not. There are a range of shades overlapping each other, creating new colours all the time. The same goes for oppression. Feminism means equality of all genders, but is gender the only criteria for oppression? What about religion, caste, ability, sexuality, etc.? Enter Intersectionality! Wondering what intersectionality is? We provide a breakdown in this video. So, let’s learn together!
