onto the shoulders of people inhabiting multiple spaces and call for progressive organisations and individuals to commit to the following intersectional charter in an effort to ease this burden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium\">In particular, this charter aims to aid organisations to become an ally along the axes of oppression the organisation does not inhabit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium\">At a minimum, we expect organisations to establish a code of conduct for their members that acknowledges the twin concepts of intersecting oppressions and of intersecting privileges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium\">We acknowledge that intersectionality is complex, that meeting the standards outlined in this charter in full is a high bar, and that cultural and organisational change is a gradual process.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_3 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et-last-child

class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-size: medium\">In our society, there are a variety of attributes a person can have. Most of these attributes exist as a spectrum, although they are frequently treated as though they<br \/>are a binary. In general, society is set up for people with attributes at one end of the spectrum \u2014 that is, the default is for people with those attributes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-size: medium\">As a result, even though they might not be aware of it, they are treated as valued and experience \u2018privilege\u2019 while people with attributes at the other end experience disadvantage or oppression.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_5 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span style=\"font-size: medium;font-family: inherit;font-weight: normal\">Obviously, someone can be simultaneously at the privileged end of the spectrum for one attribute and at the oppressed end of the spectrum for another, and this intersection informs the lived experience of all of us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;font-family: inherit;font-weight: normal\">Although this would seem to concern individuals, the oppressions and privileges that individuals experience is structural and systemic \u2014 that is, racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism and so on are built into laws, education systems, pay scales, access to events and more. That means that any change to address oppression requires structural and systemic resistance, not individual change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;font-family: inherit;font-size:

informs our work. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;font-family: inherit;font-size: medium\">We also acknowledge that many of the people our organisations represent or consist of may be living in violence or actively fighting for their lives, and that this work to resist structural and systemic oppression can be overwhelming and therefore needs to be available in smaller,
