===== Definition ===== 

Socially constructed segregation is a form of segregation that is created and enforced by societal norms and practices rather than by explicit laws or policies. This can include racial segregation, gender segregation, religious segregation, and other forms of segregation based on social identities. Socially constructed segregation can manifest in various ways, such as through residential segregation, educational segregation, occupational segregation, and social exclusion. It is often maintained through social norms, stereotypes, prejudices, and discrimination, and can have negative effects on individuals and communities, perpetuating inequality and hindering social cohesion. Efforts to address socially constructed segregation often involve challenging and changing discriminatory attitudes, promoting diversity and inclusion, and implementing policies and practices that promote equality and social integration.
