9. Marginalization
• Marginalization is the process of pushing a particular group or groups of
people to the edge of society by not allowing them an active voice,
identity, or place in it. Through both direct and indirect processes,
marginalized groups may be relegated to a secondary position or made
to feel as if they are less important than those who hold more power or
privilege in society. People from marginalized groups can be the target
of negative beliefs, behaviors, or judgements from others. Individuals
and groups can be marginalized on the basis of multiple aspects of their
identity, including but not limited to: race, gender or gender identity,
ability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, sexuality, age, and/or
religion. Some individuals identify with multiple marginalized groups,
and may experience further marginalization as a result of their
intersecting identities.
