Intersectionality is a term that refers to the overlap of different types of social categorization like, but not limited to, race, gender, class, or sexuality and the multi-dimensional experience of discrimination or privilege which arises from such overlaps. It was introduced by a legal scholar called Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989 and has become increasingly relevant over the years. Intersectionality stands for the integration of multiple perspectives pertaining to one’s identity in sub-advocacy issues concerning social relations and issues related to equity. This term came to be widely used within feminist and critical race theories to cope with the multi-dimensional invisibility of discrimination, which was the core challenge of single-axis representations of discrimination. The inclusion of this concept enables approaches to social discrimination to be more comprehensive, thus, allowing a blend of different forms of discrimination that a single person can undergo at the same time. Audre Lorde, bell hooks, and Angela Davis are some of the famous writers and public figures who deeply infused the concept of intersectionality in the literature as well as in the activist movement. In doing so, they have helped foster more frank discussions surrounding the interplay of power and social inequalities and deep-seated issues within society. To summarize, intersectionality is essential in comprehending the relations of multi-layered discrimination resulting from the realities of sexism, racism, and able-ism along with many other injustices. It emerges as a single integrative concept that urges an approach to social problems where all the dimensions of varying forms of violence are incorporated.
