L’oppression est un concept qui se réfère à un traitement injuste et contrôlant d’un groupe de personnes par un autre.
La psychologie de l’oppression étudie comment l’oppression influence les pensées, attitudes, émotions, comportements et la santé des personnes opprimées [1][3][4].
Elle examine également les différentes formes d’oppression, telles que l’oppression institutionnelle, systémique et interpersonnelle, ainsi que l’oppression internalisée, qui consiste en la répétition des messages oppressifs qui conduit les personnes opprimées à intérioriser ces idées et à les considérer comme vraies [4].
La psychologie de l’oppression souligne que l’oppression affecte non seulement les personnes opprimées, mais aussi les oppresseurs et la société dans son ensemble, car elle crée un environnement où la violence, l’injustice et l’inégalité sont tolérées et perpétuées [1].
