Words Matter – Intersectionality

Intersectionality examines how various aspects of our identities, such as race, gender, and background, influence the way we are treated, revealing that certain factors can affect privilege or disadvantage.

It’s crucial to recognize that advantages vary widely among individuals and groups, shaped by societal perceptions that can impact entire communities.
