The question is how we acknowledge and negotiate power, particularly in institutions Relationships involve power dynamics and power imbalances are inevitable.To understand someone’s experience, we must also understand structures and systems.

Structural inequity interacts with contextual factors and social dynamics, increasing marginalisation, inequity, and health disparity.People can experience privilege and oppression simultaneously.Lived experience is shaped by the interaction of identities, contexts and social dynamics.Lived experience is an interactive process that goes beyond individual labels Human lives cannot be explained by single categories, such as gender, race, sexual orientation etc.Part of taking an intersectional approach is recognising people’s lives are multi-dimensional and complex we expect multiple stories.
