What is a Marginalized Community?
Marginalized communities are populations that are often by society or victims of targeted violence. These communities have the most difficulty accessing resources. Minority groups or underrepresented populations often fall under this category.
Marginalized persons have difficulties in accessing resources because they are seen as second class citizens. They have to fight to maintain their status in society, and this is why there is so much violence within these communities. Marginalization has a huge effect on the mental and physical health of these people and can even lead to death for some people.
