How to use "Oppressed" in context?
When we talk about oppression, we're not simply referring to an inequality of power and wealth between groups of people. We're referring to a systematic and institutionalized discrimination or persecution of certain groups by their own government or society.
There are many types of oppressions, but the most common examples are those that involve discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. Political and social movements have protested and fought against these oppressions for centuries, and there's still a long way to go.
We can't hope to truly end oppression until we first recognize and understand it.
