Prof. Dr. Judith Squires: "Multiple Inequalities, Intersectionality and Gender Mainstreaming: Potential and Pitfalls"

What is the likely impact of the multiple inequalities agenda on gender mainstreaming practices? The growing pressures on EU member states to address multiple inequalities have generated equality reviews in countries across Europe, with significant numbers of states changing their institutional arrangements for promoting equality. Advocates of these reforms have frequently argued that they will provide new ways of negotiating multiple and cross-cutting equality considerations, raising hopes that equality institutions will be better able to engage with issues of 'intersectionality'. Meanwhile, critics fear that the changes will detract from achievements made and expertise gained in relation to particular equality strands. Are gender mainstreaming practices compatible with the multiple inequalities agenda? Can they be modified to address intersectionality?
