Universal Declaration of Human Rights begins as “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.” and “Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.” But some segments of the society have more rights and freedoms than “others”. Although the “Others” have been given names such as Groups that Need Special Protection, they are now called Disadvantaged Groups and include children, young people, addicts, the elderly, the disabled, immigrants, minorities, ex-convicts, women, single-parent families, the poor. Considering that the majority of the world’s population consists of children, young people, women and the elderly, it is obvious that the problems of disadvantaged groups are actually the problems of society. Although the groups are counted individually, a person is in more than one group; The disadvantaged poor child can grow up to be a woman who becomes a single parent.
