Recognising Privilege

We all have privilege but what types of privileges are there? Privilege comes in all shapes and sizes so recognising privilege is important.

Start

Having a privilege doesn't mean you're a bad person

Did you identify any potential Privileges?

Depending on your answers, it could means you enjoy an effect of a certain type of privilege or demonstrates a lack of privilege.

When we start to understand our own privilege it helps us think about how other people’s path is not as easy to the one we have.
