Intersectionality as a critical component of gender-transformative research

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Intersectionality refers to the many overlapping forms of complicate the experiences of marginalised groups of people. For example, a woman facing gender-based exclusion may also experience discrimination related to her race, class or disability. Therefore, these forms of discrimination should not be viewed in isolation. At a recent World Science Forum session in Cape Town, representatives from research organisations, funding institutions and academic publishing looked at the importance of intersectionality in gender-transformative research.
