Abstract
Although complex and multifactorial, vulnerability reflects various trajectories with manifold implications, three primary dimensions of vulnerability—physical, psychological, and social—have been depicted across this book from a non-Western framework to accurately depict specific characteristics, interventions, and practices across multiple groups and contexts. Our authors have placed at the center of vulnerability research the perspectives and voices of those deemed vulnerable and potential stakeholders, such as practitioners and service managers, enlightening policy and practice shortcomings and biases to be addressed. Thus, after analyzing the edited collection and the work of our contributors, we seek to critically contribute to vulnerability research with an intersectionality lens so that vulnerability and vulnerability groups in low- and middle-income countries or emerging and developing countries are reframed seeking to respond appropriately and have a positive impact that will help build more just, inclusive, equitable, and diverse contemporary societies. ©The authors ©Springer
