marginaalisempien

Marginaalisempien is a Finnish term that translates to "more marginalized" or "those who are more marginalized" in English. It refers to individuals or groups who experience multiple intersecting forms of disadvantage and exclusion within society. This marginalization can stem from various factors, including but not limited to socioeconomic status, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, or geographic location. The concept emphasizes that marginalization is not a singular experience but can be compounded, leading to more severe social, economic, and political disadvantages for those at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities.

Understanding marginaalisempien involves recognizing the systemic nature of their exclusion. These individuals and groups often face barriers in accessing essential resources like education, healthcare, employment, and housing. They may also experience discrimination, prejudice, and a lack of representation in decision-making processes. The term highlights the need for targeted interventions and policies that address the specific needs and challenges faced by these particularly vulnerable populations. It encourages a deeper analysis of social structures and power dynamics that perpetuate inequality, aiming to promote a more inclusive and equitable society for all.
