Defining Marginalized

A marginalized population is a group that experiences systemic discrimination or unequal access to power and resources in society
Systemic discrimination = widespread practices, laws or attitudes which are viewed as neutral and sometimes acceptable but establish inequality and disadvantage for certain groups of people in society.
