Disenfranchisement

Does "disenfranchisement" always mean denial of right to vote? I have given an article of mine the title "Dispossession and disenfranchisement: existential threats to the national minorities".

By "disenfranchisement" here I wanted to mean a general denial of rights to the minorities.

I would very much appreciate your comments.

Thanks.

Hi,

But you'd need to make clear in your context which meaning you intend.

Thanks Kate and Clive. I was in doubt about the use of the term in the sense I mentioned.
