Marginalization is a slippery and multi-layered concept. Whole societies can be marginalized at the global level while classes and communities can be marginalized from the dominant social order. Similarly, ethnic groups, families or individuals can be marginalized within localities. To a certain extent, marginalization is a shifting phenomenon, linked to social status. So, for example, individuals or groups might enjoy high social status at one point in time, but as social change takes place, so they lose this status and become marginalized. Similarly, as life cycle stages change, so might people’s marginalized position. Marginalization lies at the core of all social, political and economic conflicts wherein vulnerable groups undergo victimization. Women, people with disabilities, Dalits, Aged people, children, minorities, poor, sexual minorities, etc. are most vulnerable marginalized groups in almost every society.
