Women and intersectional barriers in social exclusion

Abstract

This article critically examines the social exclusion of women in Morocco from an intersectional perspective, with a specific focus on economic and educational exclusion. It emphasizes how the combination of various barriers restricts women's ability to obtain housing, education, and economic opportunities, thereby perpetuating cycles of marginalization and exclusion. Drawing on the work of Burgess, Bourdieu, Crenshaw, and Sen, the author calls for collaborative action from both national and local governments to create comprehensive, intersectional policies that address these barriers, taking into account factors such as geographical location, socio-economic status, and identity.
