Significance of Social exclusion
Social exclusion involves preventing individuals or groups from fully participating in society. Dharmashastra describes it as barring lower castes from social activities. Health sciences note it causes poor health, increases HIV vulnerability, and marginalizes those with disabilities, visual impairments, or leprosy. Exclusion results in denial of resources, delinquency, violence, insecurity, stigma, and isolation, particularly affecting women, the elderly, and youth. Efforts to combat this involve empowering marginalized groups and promoting inter-collaboration among sectors to fight discrimination.
