The reason for #FemLab21 is to reflect on how to contribute to the feminist debate.
After two years of a devastating global health crisis, with special impact for women we have come to the conclusion that this time we should incorporate the concept of intersectionality to the debate.
In 1989, Afrofeminist professor and civil rights advocate, Kimberlé William Crenshaw introduced the concept of intersectionality. Crenshaw, influenced by the legacy of black feminisms, coined the term that would give rise to the so-called intersectional perspective.
Women suffer layers of discrimination and what this theoretical, methodological and political perspective does is to focus on the inequalities and discriminations generated by the intersections of different social elements: Gender, social class, origin, ethnic and cultural background, age, (dis) ability or language.
The are reasons for inequality and discrimination that cannot be understood in isolation.
For us, the intersectional perspective is a way to be able to carry out feminist policies intertwined with other struggles because we understand feminism as a theory that gives and must respond to all current and future discriminations.
