Marginalization

Marginalization refers to the social process where certain individuals or groups are pushed to the edges of society, losing power, influence, and access to resources. This can happen based on factors such as race, gender, socioeconomic status, or disability. Marginalized people often face discrimination and are excluded from important decision-making processes, which can hinder their opportunities and well-being. Understanding marginalization helps us recognize inequalities and encourages efforts toward inclusivity and social justice, ensuring that all voices are heard and valued in society.
