De, som samfundet nægter individuelle, økonomiske, sociale eller politiske rettigheder, er først og fremmest "de små", og de, som det rammer hårdest, er kvinder, børn, handicappede, ældre, homoseksuelle, asylansøgere, indvandrere, medlemmer af nationale mindretal etc.
Those who are denied the most basic of individual, economic, social or political rights by this society are firstly the minorities and those that it is most hard on are women, children, disabled people, the elderly, homosexuals, asylum seekers, immigrants, members of national minorities etc.
