Oppressed

Oppressed refers to individuals or groups who experience injustice, discrimination, or unfair treatment, often systematically and repeatedly, due to their identity or circumstances such as race, gender, socioeconomic status, or other characteristics. This unfair treatment limits their opportunities, freedom, or well-being, creating a power imbalance where the oppressors hold more influence or privilege. Understanding oppression involves recognizing the societal structures and attitudes that sustain inequality and seeking fairness and equity in treatment and rights for all.
