Clan segregation refers to the practice of separating individuals or groups based on their clan or family affiliation. This type of segregation can lead to social division and prejudice within a community, as people may be treated differently or discriminated against based on their clan membership. This form of segregation is often seen in traditional societies or communities where clan or family ties are considered important and influence social relationships and interactions. It can contribute to a lack of social cohesion and unity, as well as perpetuate inequality and conflict within a community. Efforts to address clan segregation often involve promoting inclusivity, mutual understanding, and cooperation among different clans or family groups.
