Intersectional discrimination refers to the complex and cumulative way in which multiple forms of discrimination (such as racism, sexism, classism, ableism, homophobia, ageism, illiteracy, etc.) intersect and overlap, affecting individuals or groups who are at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities.
This concept acknowledges that people experience discrimination differently depending on the combination of their various social identities, and that these interlocking systems of oppression cannot be fully understood or addressed in isolation from one another.
