Recognising Privilege

Privilege is a complex subject to address. If someone points out the ways in which your life is easier because of factors beyond your control, like race, gender, or class, you might feel defensive or embarrassed. But the truth is, most of us benefit from some form of privilege, usually without even realising it. Benefitting from privilege doesn’t mean your life has been easy or you haven’t struggled. But it’s important to recognise that your privilege hasn’t made your life harder, whereas lacking it does create barriers for others. Sadly, not everyone has equal privilege. People can benefit from or lack it in many ways. Recognising the privilege that you and others have is the first step towards establishing a fairer society for everyone.
