Definition

Multifaceted segregation refers to the existence of various forms of segregation or discrimination based on different factors such as race, gender, age, socioeconomic status, and more. This type of segregation may occur in multiple aspects of society, including housing, education, employment, and social interactions. It highlights the intersectionality of discrimination and inequality, as individuals may face multiple barriers based on several intersecting factors. Addressing multifaceted segregation requires a comprehensive approach that considers the various dimensions of inequality and works to dismantle discriminatory systems and policies.
