It is a policy which favours under represented groups in order to rectify past discrimination. Depending on where the policy is implemented the favoured groups can include one or a combination of the following: race, gender, religion, disability, national origin. It is normally implemented in respect to access to jobs and education. But can also include access to tenders and contracts. The aim of affirmative action is equity - which is different from equality.
