vulnerable groups
Definition
A complete explanation of the intended meaning of a concept- In both the human rights and food security fields, the term “vulnerable groups” refers to groups of persons who, owing to physiological, socio-political and socio-economic reasons, cannot enjoy their human rights as fully as others or suffer from food insecurity or are at risk of becoming food insecure.
- Tant dans le domaine des droits de l'homme que de la sécurité alimentaire, l'expression « groupe vulnérable » renvoie à des groupes de personnes qui, pour des raisons d'ordre physiologique, sociopolitique et socio-économique, ne peuvent jouir autant que d'autres des droits de l'homme, qui sont victimes d'insécurité alimentaire ou risque de le devenir.
- Tanto en el ámbito de los derechos humanos como en el de la seguridad alimentaria, el término “grupos vulnerables” hace referencia a grupos de personas que, a diferencia de otros y debido a razones de tipo fisiológico, socio-político o socio-económico, no pueden disfrutar de los derechos humanos en toda su extensión; o bien padecen inseguridad alimentaria o se encuentran en riesgo de padecerla.
