Systemic Discrimination

Systemic discrimination refers to ways in which policies, practices, and social norms create and maintain unequal treatment of certain groups within society. Unlike individual acts of bias, systemic discrimination is embedded in the structures of institutions like workplaces, schools, and governments. This can lead to marginalized groups facing barriers in areas such as employment, education, and healthcare, even if no single person is intentionally discriminating. It’s essential to recognize and address these systemic issues to promote equality and inclusion for all members of society.
