Going intersectional
Today equality activists fight one ground at a time – either against racism, ableism or gender inequality, among others.
Yet people’s identity is defined by multiple characteristics. They also face compounding causes for discrimination. The person is at the intersection of several sources of equality and inequality.
That’s why Commoning wants to change how we move towards social justice by:
- Developing operational tools promoting intersectional inclusion
- Creating these tools with the concerned target group and committed stakeholders
