Intersectional Feminist Approach
‘A prism for seeing the way in which various forms of inequality often operate together and exacerbate each other’ Crenshaw (1989).
Rape Crisis Midwest work using an intersectional feminist framework, this begins with an understanding of the unequal power relationships created by the sex/gender system. This core inequality intersects with class, ‘race’, ethnicity, age, legal status and disability.
