Multidimensional discrimination
The term captures the interconnectedness of several intertwined disadvantages and thus counters the reduction of the groups of people studied in social science analyses of discrimination to one 'characteristic', a specific reason for discrimination or a single dimension of oppression. The use of the concept results from the theoretical examination of power-critical diversity and intersectionality research as well as from the claim of implementing an anti-discrimination policy concept of diversity management.
