Underrepresented groups are communities or populations that have less visibility, influence, or access to resources compared to the majority. This can include people from different races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, or socioeconomic backgrounds. For example, women in leadership roles or people of color in certain industries may not have the same opportunities as their counterparts.
These groups often face barriers that limit their participation in various aspects of society, such as education, employment, and politics. Efforts to support underrepresented groups aim to create a more inclusive environment, ensuring that everyone has a voice and the chance to succeed, like initiatives promoting diversity and equity.
