Multiple marginalization

Multiple marginalization describes the experience of occupying several subordinated positions simultaneously—not as simple addition but as a distinct lived reality where racism and sexism and poverty interact in ways that can't be reduced to their parts. This framework explains why someone might face harms that specific single-identity movements fail to see or address.
