What is disenfranchised?

Disenfranchised refers to individuals or groups who have been deprived of their political rights, such as the right to vote or participate in the political process. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including discrimination, poverty, criminal convictions, and lack of access to education or resources. Disenfranchisement can have serious social and economic consequences, as it can lead to a lack of representation and influence in government and society. Efforts to combat disenfranchisement may include advocacy, legal reform, and education.
