In today’s society, social inequality is a deeply ingrained issue that affects people on multiple levels of identification. Traditional approaches to resolving inequality, on the other hand, frequently fail to take into consideration the intricate ways in which different identities intersect. “Intersectionality,” highlights race, gender, class, and sexual orientation—interact and influence how a person is privileged or marginalised. This approach offers a crucial perspective for appreciating the multifaceted character of socioeconomic inequality. Gaining a greater knowledge of the specific issues faced by individuals at the intersections of several marginalised groups allows us to better grasp how diverse identities interact. A multifaceted strategy is needed to effectively address the intersectional nature of social injustice. This paper proposes that policymakers should make sure that marginalised communities’ perspectives are heard and are actively involved in the decision-making process. Additionally, it is critical to raise awareness and knowledge of intersectionality among a range of stakeholders, such as the public, educators, and legislators. This paper used secondary sources as its technique, and text content analysis was used to derive pertinent insights from the data that were gathered. This paper has four recommendations directed to policymakers on how socioeconomic inequality could be addressed
