Which issue is an example of institutional oppression?

Institutional oppression occurs when policies or practices within major institutions systematically disadvantage a group. The gender wage gap is an example because workplace and economic systems can produce unequal pay for women as a group. Banking regulation and the federal budget deficit are not inherently forms of oppression, while microaggressions are usually individual or interpersonal actions rather than institutional practices.
