Economic violence

Form of Structural Violence

Economic Violence is a form of Structural Violence in which specific groups of people are deprived of critical economic resources. Bandy X. Lee, a psychiatrist and scholar on the subject of violence, asserts that such economic impediments are among the "avoidable limitations that society places on groups of people [which] constrain them from meeting their basic needs and achieving the quality of life that would otherwise be possible." As with other forms of Structural Violence, Lee notes that it is typically inflicted by institutions to the effect of exercising power over vulnerable groups.
