stigmatise
Label as disgraceful
Stigmatise is the British spelling of stigmatize—to mark someone or something as disgraceful or shameful.
A person can be stigmatised for illness, poverty, or unpopular beliefs: Mental health patients are often stigmatised.
The word derives from stigma, originally a brand burned into the skin of slaves or criminals.
