Standard of living for the minorities (Digital desk)

Minority groups are considered to be any group of who are singled out from everyone else in the society due to their cultural characteristics and are treated unequally with multiple discrimination. Lack of power is their main feature and the biggest issue.

1) Sri Lanka - minority women face sexual violence and insecurity: Tamil and Muslim women in Sri Lanka are suffering and struggling from abusement and are not able to sustain their lives properly since they do not have any income. Their standard of living is very different from men and those who are not considered as minorities.  (http://www.minorityrights.org/12117/press-releases/minority-women-in-sri-lanka-facing-increasing-levels-of-sexual-violence-and-insecurity.html)

2) People with disablilities: the disablility rights movement tries to help those in need to be accepted by society and as a normal human being. They are disadvantaged by everyone else and are seen as unnecessary or useless creatures. Although there has been improvement, the standard of living for people with disabilities is very bad and different from those who do not have any physical or mental issues. They are not able to have any occupations and even if it is, they have very low wages.

3) LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgenders): they have been hated on since the early 1900s and are seen as malicious human beings.Due to their sexual desire towards the same gender, they are sometimes declined for jobs or are offered with extremely low amount of income.

4) Tibet: Tibet has been conquered by China for over 50 years and are trying hard to fight back as well as be free. They are being ignored and looked down by the Chinese. Hence, they were not able to afford any proper possession and had to obtain it through hard work. Nevertheless, the living standard of Tibetans have remarkably improved.

5) Germany (Nazi, WW2) - Jews: during world war 2, Jews were considered to be minorities and were blamed for everything bad that happened in germany. There was the holocaust where millions of them were sent to concentration camps and killed. Their standard of living was extremely low and they were treated with merciless disrespect. Every possession of luxury were taken away and were not capable to earning an money.
