Marginalization refers to the process by which individuals or groups are pushed to the fringes of society, excluded from mainstream social, economic, and political processes. This can occur for various reasons, such as discrimination based on race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, disability, or socioeconomic status. Marginalized groups often face limited access to resources, opportunities, and decision-making power, leading to social exclusion, inequality, and vulnerability to oppression and exploitation. Research in this area focuses on understanding the root causes of marginalization, its impact on individuals and communities, and strategies for promoting inclusivity, equity, and social justice.
