Summary/Abstract: The concept of “intersectionality” includes interactive intersected, combined social identies, status / affiliation, such as nationality, religion, race, class, but where gender component is always present as a necessary, included element. The concept of intersectionality allows consideration of gender-based aspects, status and experience in combination with other elements of identity. Due to the existence of more modern meaning of intersectionality, it is defined, its origin and evolution are mapped, as well as its evolution and types of intersectionality. There is discriminative mechanisms of functioning, and possible applicability of this concept in processes of social change. In this way, the concept which may have seemed like an ambiguous idea, is eventualy made applicable in our research discourse, as its real component, more realistic and therefore more adjusted to creation of public policies in practice.
