Women are not technically a minority group unless they are in fewer numbers in a given situation. For example, for centuries, women could not vote. Men made all the legal decisions and women were not represented, putting their views in the minority. Similarly, in medical research, until recently, most research was done on men, so the diseases that affected women were treated as less important, since a minority of studies used women as the subjects of the research.
The word "minority" originated from the Latin word "minor," meaning lesser or smaller. It is used to describe a group of people that is smaller in number or holds less power compared to the dominant group in a society.
The term minority student would normally be used to refer to a student who belongs to what is known as a visible minority, which is to say, the student in question has some visible racial characteristic such as skin color or type of facial features by which it can be seen that he or she belongs to a racial minority. There are all sorts of minorities, but not all of them are visible.

In many countries, minorities make up a smaller percentage of the population compared to the majority group. However, the term "minority" can also refer to any group that holds less power or influence in a given society, regardless of population numbers. So while minorities may not always be the numerical minority, they can still face discrimination and inequality.
