disenfranchised groups
Disenfranchised groups are communities or individuals who have limited access to political, social, or economic rights and opportunities. This can include marginalized populations such as racial minorities, women, the LGBTQ+ community, the poor, and people with disabilities. Disenfranchisement often results from systemic discrimination, laws, or policies that restrict rights, like voting or fair employment. As a result, these groups may struggle to have their voices heard or achieve equality, impacting their ability to influence decisions that affect their lives and communities. Addressing disenfranchisement involves promoting inclusion, equity, and access to resources and rights.
