united states

Coercive segregation refers to the practice of forcibly separating individuals or groups based on certain characteristics, such as race, ethnicity, religion, or socioeconomic status. This type of segregation is often enforced through laws, policies, or practices that restrict the movement and interaction of certain groups of people. Coercive segregation is a form of discrimination and a violation of human rights, as it denies individuals the right to freely associate and interact with others.
