Granted the sentence is a little poorly worded, but Jyoti is both a woman and a visible minority.
The sentence implies, to the reader who has no knowledge of Jyoti, that she is a visible minority because she is a woman. It is poorly worded, sure, but that's my point - the wording wasn't corrected when reviewing and editing most likely because the author thinks of women as a minority.
