ghettoised
Put in enclaves
Ghettoised is the British spelling of ghettoized, meaning confined to a ghetto or treated as a marginalized group.
The term extends beyond literal urban enclaves to describe any social, professional, or cultural isolation: Women were ghettoised into secretarial roles.
It implies forced separation rather than voluntary clustering, carrying connotations of discrimination and limited opportunity.
