Intersectionality/DEI

"Gender" and "gender equality" are not detached from, but interact with other

  • aspects of diversity (all of them: social constructs) such as origin, class, age and disability,
  • related power relations such as racism, classism, ageism and ableism, as well as
  • policies directed towards or against it.

Intersectionality

The term intersectionality describes the fact that disadvantages due to diversity aspects are intertwined and thus produce social positioning and individual experiences of their own kind.

DGI (Diversity, Equality, Inclusion)

The terms diversity and inclusion, like the term equality, refer to the social participation of people with different aspects of diversity.Methodologically, diversity and inclusion are primarily about recognizing and appreciating as well as promoting (diversity) or integrating (inclusion) differences, while equality aims primarily at reducing (opportunity) inequality. Inclusion and equality have their weight in action orientation, while diversity is often limited to a descriptive approach. In practice, each term is often used in a limited way to certain aspects of diversity: equality in connection with gender or disability, inclusion in connection with disability and diversity, especially in connection with racism and classism.

Inclusion and diversity can and should ideally be conceived as a comprehensive, active anti-discrimination policy. There is then much to suggest that they and (gender) equality belong together. However, there is also a lot to be said for separating responsibilities nevertheless.

In any case, however, (gender) equality must strive to be intersectional in order not to discriminate within the target group and to reproduce privileges, but to ensure that all persons in the (inherently heterogeneous) target group, e.g. not only white, healthy, but all women, are equally taken into account or benefit.
