Inclusion of intersectionality in the scope of human rights

The research is about the study of the concept of intersectionality of oppression or intersectional inequality - coined in 1989, by Kimberlé Crenshaw - and its analytical potential for the realization of women's access to Human Rights. Through bibliographical and documentary review, and the application of the hypothetical-deductive method, the research has a descriptive and explanatory character. It is concluded that gender discrimination interacts with other structural categories, such as race, producing particular exclusion processes that are barriers in accessing rights, with intersectionality being a tool with great potential to better understand these processes and minimize them.
