To address this socio-political phenomenon, three sections were used: 1) The emergence and evolution of intersectional discrimination; 2) Interaction between intersectional discrimination and complex thinking; 3) Practices of resistance to intersectional discrimination. The final considerations allow us to understand that intersectional discrimination is a phenomenon deeply rooted in history, it intensifies in the experiences of individuals displaced due to violence. This complex form of repression, which is linked to various elements such as gender, race, ethnicity, social class and sexual orientation, has been naturalized and validated over time, becoming an almost imperceptible obstacle in the battle. for justice and equity. Forced displacement, when intersected with these various forms of discrimination, produces unique and intense experiences of vulnerability and exclusion. Displaced individuals face extra challenges in accessing essential rights such as housing, health, education and participation in society.
