"Political intersectionality" refers to the overlapping and interdependent nature of social identities and how these intersections impact individuals' experiences with oppression and privilege. Coined in part by scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw, this concept emphasizes that people belong to multiple identity groups, such as race, gender, class, and sexuality, which together shape their political realities. Understanding political intersectionality helps to reveal how policies or political movements may disproportionately affect certain groups. It highlights the importance of adopting a more nuanced approach to social justice and activism, ensuring that the needs of all marginalized communities are represented.
