Social exclusion is a complex and multidimensional process and outcome where individuals or groups are prevented from fully participating in the economic, social, political, and cultural life of the society in which they are located due to a combination of multiple and often intersecting deprivations. These deprivations can include lack of adequate income and resources, limited access to employment, education, healthcare, housing, and social support networks, as well as experiences of discrimination, marginalisation, and a lack of voice or power in decision-making processes that affect their lives. Social exclusion can lead to feelings of isolation, alienation, and a diminished sense of belonging, hindering individuals' ability to exercise their rights, fulfill their potential, and participate as full and valued members of society. Addressing social exclusion requires tackling the various interconnected factors that contribute to it through inclusive policies and practices that promote equal opportunities and social integration for all members of society.
