Description

This volume covers topics related to human rights issues and problems of people who are overwhelmed by hostile situations around them and are subsequently rendered vulnerable. The situations of vulnerability discussed in this book are related to suffering caused by the moral family social economic or political conditions in which the people and the groups they belong to live. Readers are guided through a discussion about rights as an instrument through which civil society and the 'Rule of Law' try to curb or even eliminate the suffering of these people. The aim of such efforts is to restore the situation of vulnerable people to a level of normality.
Human Rights Issues and Vulnerable Groups presents a discussion of issues surrounding several kinds of vulnerable groups: minorities children gender groups persons with disabilities migrants cultural groups displaced persons victims of terrorism linguistic groups poor people people in prison and sexual minorities.
The book is a detailed reference for graduates and scholars in law political science sociology and social psychology. The volume is also recommended for working professionals who operate with human rights groups and general readers (non-experts) who want to understand the discourse about human rights in a holistic (moral legal social economic and political) framework.
