Intersectionality is understood to mean that social categories such as gender, ethnicity, nation or class cannot be conceptualized in isolation from each other, but must be analyzed in terms of their “interwoven” or “intersections”. Additive perspectives should be overcome by focusing on the simultaneous interaction of social inequalities.
