Editing Establishment segregation (section)

===== Definition ===== 

Establishment segregation refers to the practice of separating facilities, businesses, or institutions based on race, ethnicity, religion, or other discriminatory factors. It typically involves the denial of access to certain establishments or services to individuals from marginalized or minority groups.

Historically, establishment segregation was prevalent in many countries, particularly during periods of racial and ethnic discrimination, such as African Americans in the United States during the Jim Crow era or apartheid in South Africa. Examples of establishment segregation include separate schools, restrooms, drinking fountains, transportation, restaurants, and other public facilities for different races or ethnicities.

While establishment segregation has been legally abolished in many countries, its effects continue to persist, particularly in social and economic disparities. Efforts to address and eliminate establishment segregation include anti-discrimination laws, affirmative action policies, and public awareness campaigns promoting inclusivity and equal access to all establishments and services.
