Intersectionality and Sexual harassment                      

Intersectionality is a fast-growing and important consideration in the areas of sexual harassment and diversity, equity and inclusion. Research has demonstrated that sexual harassment is complex and based in various forms of power, including social and political power. We now know that intersectional discrimination – overlapping experiences of oppression and disadvantage – is a key driver of sexual harassment. As such, intersectionality must be at the core of our efforts to prevent and respond to sexual harassment and related unlawful conduct.
