Intersectionality and Allyship in the workplace or Understanding Intersectionality from a lived experience perspective

Training overview

This session will help to raise awareness of intersectionality which will help people to have more empathy, kindness and compassion to others in everyday life therefore creating a more fair and inclusive society.

Intersectionality recognises that an individual's identity is influenced by multiple dimensions such as race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, and socioeconomic status, which interact and intersect to shape their experiences. 

Recognising intersectionality is crucial for building inclusive environments because it acknowledges the complexity of human identities and experiences. By understanding how various aspects of an individual's identity intersect, organisations and communities can better identify and address systemic barriers that different groups face. It enables a more nuanced approach to diversity and inclusion efforts, promoting equal opportunities and equitable outcomes for all individuals.
