Age oppression[edit]
Young people are a commonly, yet rarely acknowledged, oppressed demographic. Minors are denied many democratic and human rights, including the rights to vote, marry, and give sexual consent. Society as a whole also tends to discriminate against young people and view them as inferior. Also, the elderly are also victims of oppression. Elderly people endure oppression due to the lack of understanding the experience of aging. The ignorance of those unable to comprehend the life of elderly put the elderly in potential danger of being an unheard voice in society. The National Center for Biotechnology Information states, "The voices of elderly people from marginalized groups are rarely solicited, and the relationship between elder maltreatment and belonging to an oppressed group has not been adequately investigated (www.ncbi.gov)." Elders are at risk for neglect because it is often difficult for people to identify when elders are in need of assistance. There is also a difficulty identifying whether an elderly individual is capable of making decisions for themselves, or when family members or existential services should step in.
