Reverse conference: "Women at Work: vulnerabilities, sexual harassment and reproductive health from an intersectional perspective"

Intersectionality seeks to explain how race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, age and other characteristics intersect and overlap with each other and affect the experiences of individuals or groups.

Discrimination in the form of "intersecting inequalities" based on a person's age, country of origin, disability, level of education or sexual orientation is a key determinant of both exposure to and experience of inequality at work. An intersectional approach is particularly useful when addressing how women are constructed as vulnerable subjects.

With this starting point, and under the title of "Women at Work: vulnerabilities, sexual harassment and reproductive health from an intersectional perspective", the AFIN research group of the UAB and the Human Resources, Work and Employment (HRWE) research group of the West England University (WEU) called upon their scientific community to produce potential research results on the topic "Intersectionality of women's vulnerabilities in the workplace" in the form of a reverse conference, from 24 January to 26 January.
