Abstract

It is important to make sure every child can receive an equal education at school. However, this is not always the case. Some groups of children are disadvantaged in educational settings in different ways. Children can be disadvantaged because of their gender (as girls), race (as people of color), and disabilities, but it cannot be sure that they all have the same experience. When gender, race, and disability intersect, it creates more hardships for children; yet their realities are usually invisible. This paper reviews how girls who are also people of color, girls with disabilities, and children with disabilities who are also people of color are facing difficulties that are not widely understood by schools and teachers. If their experiences are not being seen, they cannot receive the services and support they need, which hinders their opportunity and ability to learn. This paper contributes to reviewing the intersectionality of equality in educational settings, which will provide implications for future gender and educational studies.
