How do the excluded and marginalised participate in the Participatory Budget? Isn't there a greater risk of social exclusion?

The groups which are most discriminated against and marginalised, in particular women, youth, afro and indigenous urban populations (in Latin America), immigrants, the undocumented and displaced, refugees, gays and lesbians, have had a secon-dary place and role in Participatory Budgets. PBs are built in general on physical bases (district, region, neighbourhood) and with sectoral themes (health, transportation, economy of solidarity, recreation, etc.) and not from the perspective of the individual actors or excluded groups. This is one of the limitations of the majority of Participatory Budgets, in their current form.
