Marginalized and Social Work Practice

There are strong interconnects between marginalisation, resource politics and justice concerns, which has been rarely addressed in the academic arena. Without any critical or deep logic one could easily observe that the ones who are marginalised have lesser access to resources of all types and dismissing all questions of justice in the overall distribution of wealth and resources. Marginalisation is a systematic process of practice to neglect, boycott, or refuse both people as well as groups from manifold aspects of society; power, education, trade, privilege, opportunities and resources. Interwoven with poverty, deprivation and social exclusion, marginalisation pushes the group or individual to the worst extents of periphery. While there is a consistent contest for marginalised groups, the alienation and exploitation of oppressed and marginalised populations continue in a more aggressive manner with newer manifestations in modern times where resources such as land, water, forests, minerals and human labour remain the key.
