Group:
A group is an organization of people or things, like a reading group at a public library that holds book discussions every month.
Group comes from the word for lump, or cluster. If you're out walking at night and see a group of wild dogs coming at you, best to go the other way. You could always find a group of people to walk with if you don't want to be alone. Group can also be used as a verb. If you're painting a still life, you might collect a bunch of objects from your house and group them together in an eye-pleasing arrangement.
Vulnerability:
Vulnerability is the quality of being easily hurt or attacked. Some seniors think it's funny to pick on the ninth graders because of their vulnerability.
Vulnerability comes from the Latin word for "wound," vulnus. Vulnerability is the state of being open to injury, or appearing as if you are. It might be emotional, like admitting that you're in love with someone who might only like you as a friend, or it can be literal, like the vulnerability of a soccer goal that's unprotected by any defensive players.
Vulnerable Groups:
Vulnerability of individuals, communities and the environment is a major factor in terms of exposure to disaster risks which limits resilience, but these risks do not affect everybody in the same way. Poor people and socially disadvantaged groups are the most exposed and suffer most directly from disasters. Yet the most fragile people are often not taken sufficiently into account where prevention strategies or operational manuals are concerned, despite being quite clearly the most vulnerable.
When we talk about VULNERABLES GROUPS (in a human rights sense) we intend certain population groups often encounter discriminatory treatment or need special attention to avoid potential exploitation. These populations make up what can be referred to as vulnerable groups. People more exposed to the possibility of not having their human rights guaranteed.
Some examples: Woman, Children, People with disabilities, Person with HIV-AIDS, Older Persons, LGBTIQ+ Persons, Refugees People, Roma People, cultural, ethnic, and religious minorities… people who can face up
Duty-Bearers:
Central to the idea of human rights is establishing and sustaining the relationship between the rights-holder (who has the right) and the duty-bearer (who has the obligation to fulfill the right). A duty-bearer is the person(s) or institution(s) which have obligations and responsibilities in relation to the realization of a right.
For example, all adults can support children and young people to be human rights defenders.
But there are some adults – duty bearers – who international law says have a responsibility to respect, protect and fulfil children and young people’s rights. Because the State is the main duty bearer when it comes to defending human rights, these responsibilities often fall on people who are employed by it.
These would include:
Scottish Ministers,
Scottish Government officials,
local authority staff,
teachers,
social workers,
health workers, such as doctors and nurses, and
police officers.
But YOU can also be a Duty Beares: you have to feel it!
SPORTS ASSOCIATIONS can be a duty beares for the rights of sport and fun.
