Geographical Discrimination

Geographical discrimination occurs when individuals or groups are treated unfairly based on their location or geographic background. This can manifest in various forms, such as biases against people from certain regions or cities, impacting job opportunities, housing, education, and social services. For example, someone from a rural area might face stereotypes that affect their job prospects in urban settings. This type of discrimination can perpetuate inequality and reinforce social divides, as it overlooks the individual’s capabilities or character, focusing instead on preconceived notions tied to their geographic origin.
