This article focuses on children who experience intersectional discrimination, as they are oftentimes omitted entirely not only in literature, but also in law, and by courts and tribunals, at the international and domestic level. The number of children whose identities interplay is insurmountable, and they should not be forced to seek protection under one form of marginalized identity. Instead, their intersecting identities should be analyzed and taken into consideration together, as it seems to be an imperative tool to improve children’s protection and enrich academic and political discourse on that matter.
