One of the most interesting outcomes of Karama’s work with adolescent girls in the region has been the strength and clarity of their intersectional perspectives on their situation, and the intersectional approach they have taken to activism.

Throughout the work, girls have recognized the particular marginalization faced by those within their peer groups, such as girls with disabilities, displaced girls, socially and economically deprived girls. This recognition has both sought to ensure their inclusion, and ensure their needs and priorities are reflected in the work.

It has been remarkably clear that girls who themselves face multiple forms of oppression and discrimination - as girls, as young people, as well as other forms like occupation, racism and bigotry - acutely understand power relations. This understanding in turn informs their approach to activism.

Girls show deep understanding of the issues that limit and restrict their enjoyment of basic rights and freedom, while reflecting on their personal lived realities. They have explored many ways of translating their priorities into intervention.
