The Impact Of Intersectionality On Disability Care
‘Intersectionality’ refers to personal characteristics that overlap to form a person’s identity. It can be pictured like an intersection between two roads, where traffic from both roads leads to an increase in congestion. Overlapping characteristics can potentially magnify the discrimination and marginalisation that someone experiences. This is often the case for people with disabilities, particularly if they’re already impacted by social disadvantage.
