Why Intersectionality training matters in Wales
Welsh Government action plans on race, LGBTQ+ equality and gender increasingly recognise that people's experiences are shaped by more than one part of who they are. In Wales, rurality, the Welsh language and socio-economic disadvantage add further layers, and the Socio-economic Duty asks public bodies to consider them. Organisations that understand intersectionality design fairer policies and services.
- Reflects intersectional approaches in Welsh equality action plans
- Connects protected characteristics with the Socio-economic Duty
- Leads to better-targeted policies and services
