Rights-based legislations increasingly recognize intersectional vulnerabilities; for example, the NFSA gives priority to women, children, and marginalized groups in identifying beneficiaries.

True
False

Answer: True

Intersectionality in rights legislation: Recognizes that disadvantages multiply across identities (gender, caste, disability, location). Examples: (a) NFSA: Priority to women (eldest woman head of household for ration card), children (ICDS, mid-day meals), SC/ST households, (b) RTE: 25% reservation for EWS/disadvantaged groups including SC/ST, (c) RPwD Act: Special provisions for women/girls with disabilities. Holistic approach ensures rights reach most marginalized; requires disaggregated data, targeted outreach, inclusive implementation.
