弱势群体存在由来已久。近年来,随着社会转型期的一些变革,该群体的问题日渐明显,受到全社会的广泛关注。保护与救济社会弱势群体是实现社会公正和法律实质正义的基本要求,因而如何通过立法、司法来加强对弱势群体权利的保护,已经成为一个亟待解决的问题。 Vulnerable groups exist for a long time. In recent years, with some changes in the social transition period, the problems of this group have become increasingly apparent and have drawn widespread public concern. Protecting and relieving vulnerable groups in society is a basic requirement for realizing social justice and substantive justice. Therefore, how to strengthen the protection of the rights of disadvantaged groups through legislation and judicature has become an urgent issue to be solved.
