Una revisión a la especial vulnerabilidad del menor con discapacidad

Abstract

This article is a brief review, from a socio-legal point of view, of the special vulnerability and intersectionality that affects two groups of people who, according to the author, should be subject to specific legal protection: minors and people with disabilities. On this special vulnerability that differentiates them from their peers without it, the need arises to identify a subject of independent law on which to establish autonomous legal protection: the minors with disabilities. The socio-legal reasons and reasoning that, in our opinion, justify the need to create a unitary legislative configuration, nonexistent to date, that encompasses the joint legal protection of a specific and doubly vulnerable group, and that today has its rights recognized in a scattered, residual, and even disjointed way, which makes it difficult to exercise them effectively and practically.
