Affirmative Action

Affirmative Action is a policy-based measure within the broader category of equality-promoting legal and institutional interventions, distinguished by its proactive effort to increase representation and opportunities for historically marginalized groups in education, employment, and other domains as a means of addressing systemic discrimination and advancing substantive equal protection under civil rights and non-discrimination frameworks.
