JIMENEZ RODRIGO, María Luisa. Gender equality policies and intersectionality: strategies and keys to articulation. Convergencia [online]. 2022, vol.29, e17792.  Epub 19-Sep-2022. ISSN 2448-5799.  https://doi.org/10.29101/crcs.v29i0.17792.

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, to critically review the main strategies for addressing multiple inequalities; and second, to identify the key points for mainstreaming the intersectional framework in gender equality policies. The methodology is based on a literature review of the state of the art and the examination of different equality and no-discrimination plans and programs in the European and Latin American contexts. The results show the characteristics of the main policy strategies to address multiple inequalities (unitary expanded, multiple and intersectional) as well as their possibilities and limitations. They also show the relevance to incorporate the intersectional approach in all the phases of the policy cycle (problematization, diagnosis, design, procedures, and evaluation). In conclusion, the intersectional approach allows accessing groups and issues located at the crossroads of inequalities, increasing the efficiency, equity and inclusiveness of equality policies by accessing issues that are usually ignored and underestimated behind unitary categories.
