Women and disability: social exclusion, groups who experience a form of social exclusion tend to have high health risks and lower health status.

They develop chronic conditions: hypertension, heart disease, diabetes. Marginal status in society, serious situation and they are denied full participation. Anyone with a minority status is often stigmatized and there are stringent requirements made towards them. Rather than having society meet their needs, we require them to meet our standards. It is like a mark of distinction, they are not accepted in canadian society. Certain groups seem to be barred from full participation. Not just an insult, but an insult ot their bodies. Social exclusion is the process and it is also an outcome. Rooted in social democratic social traditions: aboriginal peoples.
