Is the word embedded here used correctly? My phrase is the following one: "Traveling for me represented the possibility of remove some barriers embedded in my head and increase my knowledge about myself and others". Thank you so much for your help :)

Could you help me to correct this sentence? :) I'm trying to translate this idea in Spanish to English, but I'm not quite sure if it is understandable. This is the sentence in Spanish: "Todos estos elementos han invisibilizado y excluido a otros sujetos y aspectos que han conllevado a exacerbar el problema de violencia sexual en el conflicto armado." This is my translation to English: "These elements have invisibilized and excluded other subjects and aspects that at the same time have aggravated the sexual violence problem in the armed conflict".
