Definition[edit | edit source]

Ethnic faith segregation refers to the separation of different religious groups based on their ethnic or cultural background. It is the result of the parallel existence of ethnic and religious identities, which can lead to the formation of segregated communities or neighborhoods.

Examples of ethnic faith segregation can be found in various parts of the world. In some cases, a specific ethnic or religious group may dominate a particular region or city, leading to the exclusion or marginalization of other groups. This segregation can result in limited social interactions, economic disparities, and a lack of cultural exchange between different communities.

Ethnic faith segregation can also manifest in the form of religious discrimination, where individuals or groups are treated differently based on their faith or religious affiliation. This can result in unequal access to education, employment opportunities, housing, and social services.

Efforts to address ethnic faith segregation often involve promoting multiculturalism, diversity, and inclusivity. Governments, community organizations, and religious institutions may work together to encourage social integration, interfaith dialogue, and the creation of shared spaces where people from different backgrounds can interact and learn from one another.
