Abstract:

The AIDS epidemic continues and HIV-infected persons continue to suffer stigmatization and discrimination in Nigeria. The results of an open-ended questionnaire administered non-randomly in Ile-Ife and Ilesa in the late 1990s confirm this. Six questions on Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) were asked; 83 (36.4%) males and 145 (63.6%) females aged between 11 and 60 years responded. The respondents included 101 students, 49 civil servants, 39 artisans and traders. Others included 29 health professionals (doctors and nurses, etc.), 8 teachers, and 2 commercial sex workers.

Abstract:

Altbough the social sciences have made extensive use of the term "ghetto" as a descriptive term, they have failed to forge a robust analytical concept of the same. This article constructs a relational concept of the ghetto as a Janus-faced instrument of ethnoracial closure and control. A ghetto is an social-organizational device composed of four elements (stigma, constraint, spatial confinement, and institutional encasement) that employs space to reconcile the two antinomic purposes of economic exploitation and social ostracization.

Abstract:

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has attained a pandemic status and is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. Social isolation, fear of ostracization, and illness itself and limited access to care can lead to worsening of mental illnesses. We report a case from the United States describing a young male with a suicidal attempt who was subsequently found to have COVID-19 infection. Further research is needed to evaluate potential factors for this unique association.

Abstract:

With rapid socio-economic changes in Gujarat, the practice of untouchability also has changed. Surnames have always been important markers for caste, but in a globalizing urban environment, it has become perhaps the most prominent marker of caste identity and therefore carrier of discrimination. Caste revealing surnames can result in ostracization of Dalits and exclusion from institutional and non-institutional resources, such as housing, private sector jobs, education, business and marriage, etc. Many Dalits, in order to access the mainstream society, increasingly attempt to ‘pass’ as non-unt

Violence against transgender individuals is pervasive across many sectors, yet discourse on the issue remains limited to a few platforms, with minimal action taken to address it. This inaction contributes significantly to public health problems. Transgender individuals often face myriad forms of violence, including familial ostracization, physical abuse, emotional neglect, school bullying, unemployment, and discrimination in public arenas. Such experiences hinder their social integration and infringe on their personal rights. Research indicates that violence against transgender people has detr

Abstract:

Background: Leprosy is a disease having tremendous social implications due to ostracization. Despite continuous efforts made so far to eliminate leprosy, stigma/misbeliefs/adverse attitude toward leprosy still prevails among common people. Community perceptions and attitudes towards leprosy patients are critical and unique indicator of how society stereotypes leprosy. Aims: The qualitative study was conducted to explore the perceptions of leprosy patients towards leprosy. Materials and Methods: Two focused group discussions (FGDs) with 19 newly-diagnosed leprosy patients who can speak vernacul

Abstract:

Introduction Cultural expectations exert a profound and often inescapable influence on the formation of women's identities, shaping their roles, duties, and aspirations from birth. These expectations are not merely societal suggestions; they are deeply embedded frameworks passed down through generations, rooted in tradition, religious belief, social norms, and family customs. They dictate how women should behave, what they should value, and who they should become. These prescribed roles often revolve around ideas of obedience, modesty, self-sacrifice, and familial duty. Across many cultures, a

Mental health remains a concealed subject in African society, veiled by taboo and prejudice. Families coping with the burden of mental imbalance often endure social ostracization, entangled in a web of fear as hereditary concerns cast an ominous shadow on future generations. This narrative delves into the lived experience of a daughter whose mother’s unexpected diagnosis of mental imbalance upends their lives, unveiling the harsh realities of societal perceptions and the resilience required to navigate the unknown.

Abstract:

The family is the bedrock of the society and parents are at the center of the family in ensuring the physical, psychological and social wellbeing of their children. Being role models and the primary caregivers to their children, parents intrinsically influence their children’s values and attitudes, which in turn affects the wider community. This means that well-balanced, well-rounded parents will produce well-rounded and balanced children and hence, the more stable the community will be. A strong family structure is vital for promoting healthy child development, adding to the stability and aff

Abstract Two studies examine how experiencing a social need threat (ostracism and rejection) impacts subsequent preferences for self-disclosure to various digital audiences. Findings consider how contextual/situational factors like need threats may impact the appeal of two established perceived social affordances of media: personalization and privacy/visibility. Participants took part in a (bogus) social media activity to elicit feelings of inclusion/ostracization/rejection and then were asked about sharing their media preferences with various potential audiences.

In particular, unjust blame and ostracization associated with oppressive COVID-19 anti-Asian racism narratives may be associated with tobacco product use through unmet interpersonal needs. Accordingly, we examined whether the link between COVID-19 anti-Asian racism and tobacco product use could be explained by perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness, which have been identified as interpersonal risk factors.

Caste has predominantly been understood as a social problem. It is understood as a form of discrimination embedded in the Hindu society that promotes Brahmanical supremacy which, in turn, is founded on the ostracization and dehumanization of the Dalit subject. The great bulk of the existing scholarship on caste has been dedicated to exploring the history, politics, religiosity, anti-sociality and illegality of caste. This article is an emphatic attempt to redirect the field of Dalit studies from considering caste—casteism, to be more precise—as a social problem to defining it as a medical or c

As a conceptual framework, Confucianism, an ancient Chinese belief system that emphasises differentiation of women and men, is used to argue for the facilitation and legitimization of sexual and gender-based violence against Chinese women.

Abstract Understanding the politics of race in relation to a social marker like disability can provide a more nuanced perspective to understand the lived experiences of individuals within intersecting oppressive structures. While progress has been made in recognising the rights and privileges of black disabled people, the socio-political landscape has been layered with exclusions, and the deployment of necropolitics by the white, able-bodied individuals reduces them to bare life (zoē) and, in extreme cases, results in their death.

Abstract The Desi transgender community in the USA faces numerous problems—routinely stigmatized and isolated in their community and society. The dominant discourse about the transgender community flows from the perspective of their social ostracization, economic marginalization, short life span, mental health, sexual harassment, and other vulnerabilities. Often the transgender community is understood as homogenous, close-knit who have come together because of being driven away from family and society, succumbing to stigmatized livelihood options such as sex work and homelessness.

Through two works taken from Balzac's Comédie humaine (César Birotteau and Modeste Mignon) our study seeks to demonstrate the power of ostracization of social representations against deviant bodies in the 19th century in Western societies. We question the tolerance scale for mild disability, the club-foot, in two parts, and then in the face of a deformity considered to be monstrous, that of a hunchbacked dwarf. If the first person with a disability manages to marry his sweetheart, he owes it to its intact validity, to a share of luck afforded by the novelist, but above all to the force of mone
