Welcome to the EdTechWomen Meet Up!

We are a networked community for women's leadership in

education technology. We are business experts, technologists,

designers, and educators working to support the development of

women's leadership capacity and opportunity in education

technology.

Our mission is to increase the leadership capacity of women in

education technology through inclusivity, visibility, and impact.

This is our annual facilitated networking discussion at SXSWedu!

Two Things to Share:

Sehreen, Ayla, and Baby Azali EdTechWomen Tokyo Chapter

Last year we talked about what equality looks like for women in our industry.

A year later, regardless of where you stand politically, to achieve that equality, intersectionality in the women’s rights movement can no longer be ignored.

Today we are going to talk about that intersectionality.

"Intersectionality simply means that there are lots of

different parts to our womanhood, and those parts —

race, gender, sexuality, and religion, and ability — are not

incidental or auxiliary. They matter politically."

— Brittney Cooper, Rutgers University

Today we are going to talk about intersectionality.

An intersectional feminist movement ensures that the cries of all women are

heard and that their demands are met. It recognizes that the oppression of

women is not solely rooted in sexism but all types of “isms.” For example black

women face unique challenges pertaining to their race and gender that white

women do not face. LGBTQIA identifying women face different challenges than

straight women. Women who encompass more than one identity face

increased oppression.
