The fact that women, besides disabled or elderly persons, children,
Roma people or national minorities etc, are being considered a vulnerable group
has always intrigued me.
To some extent, I can understand the explanation behind
it – a simple search on the internet, on this issue, leads you to several human
rights organizations, which state that “these
are particular groups who, for various reasons, are weak and vulnerable or have
traditionally been victims of violations and consequently require special
protection for the equal and effective enjoyment of their human rights.” (Icelandic
Human Rights Centre)
Briefly said, these groups are especially vulnerable to
abuse of human rights.
It just seems unfair to put it this way as we all are human
beings. After all, it’s not all about the physical strength if it’s
up to be said what would be the main characteristic that differentiate men from
women which offers them the supreme advantage of not being categorized as such.
We've all seen women in leading roles in politics or
achieving excellent results in science for example. What about femme fatale? Does that kind of woman look vulnerable
to you?
