These mechanisms often take categories of vulnerability as their starting point. \nOur research has shown that vulnerability is not a straightforward concept. Thus, while protecting vulnerable groups works well in well-functioning and evolving societies with institutions to serve the weak, it might not work in Lebanon, where the collapse has hit most of its residents hard. \nIn Lebanon, some legal measures provide legal protection to people under direct threat, but there is no systematic way of protecting vulnerable residents. The Lebanon Crisis Response Plan offers socio-economic support for individuals, Lebanese, and refugees and has introduced the concept into Lebanese policies, but in an “unofficial” and uncoordinated manner. \nLebanon’s current social and financial crisis is an opportunity to have a profound and honest discussion on how it should build its protection regime to respond to its residents’ legal and socio-economic conditions and needs. \nMore info about VULNER, the previous reports, and activities on https://lebanesestudies.com/areas-of-research/vulner/ \nThis project has received funding from the European Union‘s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 870845 (www.vulner.eu)\n
