Introduction

The intersection of exclusion/inclusion, psychology, and human rights is a profound area of study that highlights how social dynamics influence individual well-being and societal structures. Psychological theories and research reveal that exclusion can lead to detrimental effects on mental health, fostering feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and depression. On the other hand, inclusion promotes a sense of belonging and self-worth, which are critical for personal development and social cohesion. Human rights frameworks advocate for the dignity and equality of all individuals, emphasizing the need to create inclusive environments that respect and protect these rights. This intersection underscores the importance of recognizing the psychological impacts of social exclusion and the moral obligation to foster inclusive practices that uphold human rights, ultimately contributing to a healthier and more equitable society.
