Factsheet on intersectionality
Persons with disabilities -including visual disabilities-are not a homogenous group. Disability intersects with other identity factors such as gender, age, poverty, ethnicity, language, religion, sexual orientation, and area of living. People face multiple forms of discrimination which often intersect and compound each other. Light of the World has published this fact sheet to raise awareness on the need to respond to the complexities of people’s situations rather than to just one aspect of their lives. You can download the fact sheet here.
