People belong to different social and socially constructed categories at the same time, such as ‘race’, gender, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, disability and others, which together affect our experiences of discrimination and privilege. 
We therefore have different personal characteristics/circumstances or identities.
Intersectional discrimination refers to situations where an individual or group faces multiple forms of discrimination at the same time. It refers to simultaneous effect or intersection of different discriminations. These personal circumstances, identities and social categories do not add up, but rather intersect, thus creating a ‘new reality’. This is not a simple sum of individual personal characteristics/ circumstances or individual discriminations, but a specific situation created by the simultaneous interaction of personal characteristics/circumstances and their associated discriminations.
﻿
Think about and write down an example of intersectional discrimination you have experienced or know about.
