Presentation of the network and partners
New perspective
Beyond the vulnerability to which we are all susceptible, there are some people, groups, or situations in which there are factors that multiply the risk of suffering harm and, consequently, these people, groups and situations have what can be called structural vulnerability. While the reaction to the problems deriving from particular situations of vulnerability is typically rooted in law, the appreciation of structural vulnerability as being something deserving of a legal response is relatively recent and is presented as a new perspective from which to approach traditional institutions that are now more focused on their protective and empowering function.
Origin of the network
Based on the understanding of the perspective described above, the idea of the INJEV was born in October 2019 with the submission of the Research Project application to the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, PID2019-105489RB-I00 Vulnerabilidad patrimonial y personal: retos jurídicos (Personal and property vulnerability: legal challenges). Approved in June 2020, the Network was publicly launched in December 2022 as a meeting place for jurists and experts on legal responses to situations of structural vulnerability.
Target audience
The network aims to facilitate study, understanding, and communication among those who work on specific legal reactions or responses to vulnerability. In this way, the network serves as a research tool for each of its members and acts as a channel for the transfer of results to the entire international scientific community and, as a result, to society as a whole. All network members are given the chance to disseminate information about new developments in the results of their research ? mainly in the form of publications ?, as well as information about other events and transfer channels in which they are participating. The members are also able to attend the biannual update meetings.
Structural vulnerability as an aspect on which to work and one that is deserving of legal responses.
