Intersectional responses for the LGBTI+ community facing COVID-19
This webinar focused on analysing the concept of intersectionality. Moreover, participants could learn from concrete experiences incorporating the intersectional perspective in the response to the social crisis generated by the COVID-19. In particular, Barcelona, Rosario, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Bogotá, Medellin and Montevideo.
The idea that the axes of inequality operate in parallel has many limitations, both for understanding social reality with complexity and for intervening from public policy. The intersectional perspective gives us tools to think with more complexity about how the different axes of inequality are crossed and what specific vulnerabilities, needs or discriminations result from those crossings.
In this session, apart from analyzing the concept of intersectionality, participants could learn from concrete experiences incorporating the intersectional perspective in the response to the social crisis generated by the COVID-19. In particular, Barcelona, Rosario, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Bogotá, Medellin and Montevideo.
