Themes for Submission

Marginalization is the process of denuding a person or group of persons of its legitimate political, social and economic power and consequently pushing it on the fringe of the society. This results in an exclusion not only from welfare benefits conferred by state but also from the advantages of a competitive market economy. Marginalisation can happen in many ways, including but not limited to deprivation of resources, non recognition and discrimination on the basis of sex, gender, age, colour, race, language, culture, religion, beliefs, disease, disability or any other criteria. Unfortunately, the State has been a direct and indirect instrumentality of causing marginalisation. the discourse on human rights for marginalised people is different from any other general discourse on human rights because it must take into account the specific prejudices and bias faced by marginalised people not faced by other sections of society.

This issue of Human Rights Law Journal will focus on the three dominant discourses on the human rights of marginalised people;

1. Gender Justice and Human Rights

2. Human Rights of Tribals and Indigenous People

3. Human Rights and Racial Discrimination
