“The few available statistics are clear: those who live in poverty often experience overlapping forms of discrimination. As Audre Lorde said, “there is no such thing as a single issue because we do not lead single-issues lives.”
Working in silos contributes to the EU’s failure to fully acknowledge and address the intersectional aspects of poverty at the EU level.”
EAPN is urging the European Commission to:
Link anti-discrimination frameworks directly to anti-poverty policies
Embed intersectionality in every strategy
Ensure those most affected are at the table
