Marginalized Communities

Definition:
Marginalized Communities are groups of people who experience systemic exclusion, disadvantage, or discrimination within a society, often due to factors such as their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, disability, religion, or other characteristics. This marginalization can result in limited access to resources, opportunities, and decision-making processes, leaving these communities socially, economically, or politically disenfranchised. Marginalized communities often face barriers to education, healthcare, employment, housing, and participation in civic life, reinforcing cycles of inequality and reducing their ability to fully engage in and benefit from societal structures.
