Abstract

Placing a frame of intersectionality on women’s rights advocacy changes not only the way the movement is viewed, but it also strengthens the actions taken and the future processes as well. There are many intricate issues within the context of women’s rights advocacy. However, examining the intersectional issues and aspects of resource equity, protection from violence, and legal equality can attest to the fundamental concerns continually being faced. In exploring the current difficulties along with the past outcomes from an intersectional standpoint, there is a more significant possibility for affirmative change moving forward. Intersectionality within women’s rights shows the overlapping points of oppression, revealing a unique experience of an individual. Proper utilization of intersectionality in women’s rights brings advocacy far beyond where it started, which was viewed as a gender-based issue. Appropriate application into equity of resources, protection from violence, and legal equality will expose the root of the problem rather than a continuance of struggle.
