Intersectionality - Coggle Diagram
Intersectionality
Despite huge advantages both at the theoretical as well as at the empirical level in terms of our understanding of migration as a gendered process, two problems persisted
a mainstream migration studies continued to show resistance to the uptake of the feminist critique and remained gender blind
most of those who researched gender in migration, focused mainly on gender and women with little inception of class, ethnicity or race as relevant axes of differentiation
But grounding intersectionality in and contemplating it with a historical approach that includes an in-depth understanding of the contexts provides a useful approach to help overcome one of those main problems in the gender and migration literature
many are failing to to understand how gender is also a classed, racialized and ethnicized concept

Intersectionality has greatly contributed to visibilizing the interconnected and constitutive nature of multiple forms of oppression in migration processes.
Intersectionality is an approach who rejected the notion that class, race and ethnicity are separate essentialist categories
Others who looked that term up, start to use the term to draw attention to the interconnections, interdependence and interlocking of these categories of disadvantage.
The relative roles of female, religious and political identities are explored through the experience of a dutch politician of Moroccan descent , while others use intersectionality to address of sexuality in migration studies
