Dehumanise means to degrade or diminish the dignity and value of a person or a group of people by cruel, unfair or brutal treatment. This degradation can be through denying their individuality, disrespecting their uniqueness or not recognizing their common human rights. Dehumanization is often seen in contexts of slavery, war, genocide, and discrimination, where people are seen as less than human.
