    It takes into account people's overlapping identities and experiences to understand the complexity of the prejudices they face.

    In other words, the affirmative intersectional theory that people are often disadvantaged by multiple sources of oppression: their race, class, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, and other markers of identity. Intersectionality recognizes that identity markers (eg, "feminine" and "black") do not exist identified by each other, and each of the information to the others, often creating a complex convergence of oppression.

    Explanation:

    Today, intersectionality is considered crucial for social equity work. Activists and community organizations are asking for and participating in more dynamic conversations about differences in experience between people with different overlapping identities. Without an intersectional lens, events and movements that aim to address injustice toward one group can end up perpetuating systems of inequities towards other groups. Intersectionality fully informs YW Boston's work, by encouraging nuanced conversations about inequality in Boston. It illuminates us about health disparities among women of color, provides avenues for our youth leaders to understand identity, and is crucial to the advocacy work we support.
