Five Faces of Oppression
Iris Young identifies five key forms of oppression that limit freedom and equality: exploitation (unfair labor practices), marginalization (exclusion from society), powerlessness (lack of control and decision-making), cultural imperialism (dominance of one culture over others), and violence (physical and emotional harm). Understanding these forms helps address systemic injustice and promote equality.
Exercise: Staircase of Oppression
This exercise explores the different levels and forms of oppression identified by Iris Young. Participants will examine how exploitation, marginalization, powerlessness, cultural imperialism, and violence create barriers to equality. The staircase format helps visualize how these forms of oppression are interconnected, encouraging reflection and discussion on ways to challenge and dismantle them.
