Collective pain is the suffering of a social group, particularly when marginalized, caused by structural violence and oppression. It is the collective experience of trauma, grief, oppression, and hardship that is shared among social groups in consequence of inequity, power imbalance, and ongoing systemic injustices. It encompasses both the direct experiences of suffering and the long-term, cumulative effect of these experiences.
