Affirmative action

Explanation:

This is a term that describes effort or action to recruit disadvantaged groups or groups previously excluded. This is also used to ensure gender balancing in organisations. Some organisations consciously seek to fill up top positions at their board with women. The Beijing conference on women empowerment sought for increased women participation in key decision positions.

ABC effort can be described as an Affirmative action towards recruiting a group that was previously disadvantaged or discriminated upon previously.
