Abstract: | Intersectionality is a term used by Kimberlé Crenshaw (1991) to explain that black women cannot be represented fully through feminist and antiracist discourse. The term has since been used to show that every person has a multitude of identity facets which interact with each other. Children have been considered as a homogenous group for many decades, yet they need to be considered in light of their race, social class, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age and ethnic background. Education is the key to giving every child equitable opportunities to help in their development, leading them to become more agentic in things which affect them directly. |
