Aporophobia (from the Spanish aporofobia, and this from the Ancient Greek ἄπορος (áporos), 'without resources, indigent, poor,' and φόβος (phobos), 'hatred' or 'aversion') is the systematic rejection, aversion, and discriminatory attitudes directed toward individuals experiencing poverty or economic disadvantage. This concept, formalized by Spanish philosopher Adela Cortina in the 1990s, describes a particular form of social prejudice that targets people not primarily due to their ethnic background, nationality, or other identity markers, but specifically because of their lack of economic resources and perceived social powerlessness. Aporophobia manifests itself in negative emotional reactions, including disgust, hostility, and fear, towards those who are economically marginalized.
