Marginalized communities refer to groups of people who experience social, economic, and/ or political exclusion or discrimination based on characteristics such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, disability or religion. These communities often face systemic disadvantages, limited access to opportunities, and unequal treatment in various aspects of life- including education, employment, healthcare, housing, business, policing and criminal justice. Recognizing and effectively addressing the setbacks and challenges faced by Marginalized communities is essential for promoting social justice, equity and inclusion.
TCTESR programs focus on specific Marginalized communities which includes:
People of Color, Black People, Women, LGBTQ and People With Disabilities.
