German term or phrase: jemand ist ins soziale Abseits gedrängt
Wenn jemand gesellschaftlich mehr und mehr isoliert wird (z.B Aidskranke), ist er "ins soziale Abseits gedrängt".
Wie lässt sich das ins Englische bringen? Gibt es ein Äquivalent für "ins soziale Abseits gedrängt"? Meine Dictionaries helfen hier leider nicht weiter...
