Gender inequality can be experienced in combination with other forms of inequality and discrimination. To be truly effective in redressing these we need to adopt an intersectional approach as a way of understanding all the factors that can shape people’s individual experiences. These can include but are not limited to culture, race, ethnicity, ability, sexuality, gender identity, education, class, age, and migration status. A commitment to ending inequity is vital to improve the lives of all women, men, and people of diverse genders and sexualities.
