  • August is Intersectionality Awareness month.

     

    Kimberlé Crenshaw, a Columbia University law professor, is recognised for first using the term Intersectionality, in 1989 in her paper, “Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex.

    Intersectionality recognises that an individual’s identity is not a single story but a rich tapestry woven from various threads of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion & belief and other protected characteristics and social categorisations.

    Each thread affects the way we experience and navigate the world.

    For Equality, Diversity & Inclusion initiatives to be successful, it is essential they are approached intersectionally, taking into account the whole person at the same time.

    Which is why we designed our accreditation to be intersectional. Want to find out how becoming accrEDIted© can help your organisation improve EDI? Get in touch today.
