Segregation

Segregation (from the Latin segregatio - separation, stratification) is the separation of different groups of the population based on race, nationality, religion or gender.

Segregation can be voluntary, when groups themselves choose to be isolated, or forced, when the state or society forcibly separates people.

The most famous example of segregation is racial segregation in the United States, legally enforced from the late 19th century until the mid-20th century. It was expressed in the separate living of white and black populations, separation of public places, transport, schools, etc.

Although segregation in the United States was officially abolished in 1964, vestiges of it still exist in the form of informal discrimination.

Segregation was also practiced in apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany. In the modern world it is condemned as a violation of human rights. The fight against segregation is an important task in building an equal and just society.
