Structural Violence

Structural violence refers to societal structures which prevent individuals from meeting their basic needs, often through the imposition of unequal power dynamics. This type of violence is perpetuated by oppressive structures such as racism, sexism, and economic inequality. Structural violence which is invisible and largely unrecognized by the general public, can have long-term implications on mental health and quality of life. It is important to be aware of the structural inequalities which exist so they can be addressed, and thus help lessen their detrimental effects.
