Today, we’re commemorating the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Like gender inequality, racism is a systemic issue that oppresses girls around the world—for many girls, those oppressions intersect. To dismantle gender inequality and racism, we need to listen to the advice of kimberlecrenshaw, the civil rights advocate and law professor who coined the term “Intersectional Feminism:” “We’ve got to be open to looking at all of the ways our systems reproduce these inequalities, and that includes the privileges as well as the harms.” A starting place is following activists like kimberlecrenshaw blairimani berniceaking ohhappydani and ardtakeaction. #FightRacism #IDERD #21March
