Intersectional Discrimination
by
19 November, 2025
Generated through unjust judgements and behaviours rooted in unequal power relations, intersectional discrimination refers to inequitable treatment arising from multiple, overlapping forms of prejudice. It highlights how people whose identities place them outside the hegemony in more than one way can experience layered and mutually reinforcing forms of discrimination.
While some forms of resistance, including feminism, emerge in response to discrimination, they don’t always account for intersectional perspectives. This collection brings together texts that explore the complexities of intersectional discrimination, aiming to foster understanding among all readers—including those whose privilege may shield them from experiencing it firsthand.
