This talk explores how intersectionality helps uncover and make visible forms of disadvantage which remain buried under the single-axis framework of international and comparative human rights law. It thus explores intersectionality theory in and beyond discrimination law, and considers its analytical capabilities in human rights more generally. It will do so from a Global South perspective, revealing that while some progress may be made in human rights with or without intersectionality, 'transformation' lies only with uncovering and addressing intersectional disadvantage.
