Institutionalized discrimination


Religious minorities do not have the same rights in Saudi Arabia as Muslims

Institutionalized discrimination is a form of discrimination sanctioned by a government or other authority or as a "normal" defense. Among other things, one understands racism and sexism as a result of social developments. The causes of discrimination are found in organizational actions, in a network of social institutions, such as the education and training sector, the labor market, the housing and urban development policy, the health sector and the police.

The term is relatively new. Historically, the concept has its origin in institutionalized racism, a term introduced by Stokely Carmichael of the Black Panther Party in the United States.

One of the 'most visible' forms was the apartheid as it was practiced in South Africa. Religion

In the religious sphere are numerous examples of institutionalized discrimination. For example, in Christianity and Islam in the regulations, the organization and dogmas, the woman is subordinate to the husband and the supporters of the particular religion are deemed to act accordingly. Language

Even in language, discrimination continues. A spoken example of this is the steadfast male indication of God. Only few religions indicate the deity with them. Service obligation

In countries where there is a duty of service, this is usually limited to the male part of the population. The distinction in the treatment of men and women is regulated by law.
