Vulnerable groups

Vulnerable groups are populations of people who may face greater challenges or risks in their well-being, safety, or rights due to factors like age, health, socioeconomic status, or social circumstances. Examples include children, the elderly, people with disabilities, refugees, and those living in poverty. These groups might find it harder to access resources, protection, or support, making them more susceptible to harm or exploitation. Recognizing vulnerable groups helps in creating policies and services to ensure they receive the necessary assistance and protection for a better quality of life.
