Animated by a desire to help the most disadvantaged, Father Pedro Opeka, a Lazarist priest, devotes his life to improving the living conditions of Madagascar's marginalized populations. His strong humanitarian commitment has resulted in the creation of Akamasoa, an association that provides shelter, education and healthcare to thousands of Malagasy people.

Moved by a fundamental motivation to serve the community and make research results accessible, the Health, Social and Wellbeing Unit (SSBE) has today developed its activities around various human sciences, such as law, psychology, philosophy, economics, etc., and regularly collaborates with players in the so-called hard sciences (medicine, pharmacy, engineering...). Its research focus, like the constant concern for respect for the human person, lends itself more to a broader approach than just the legal framework.The researchers at SSBE examine how societal systems take into account, or fail to take into account, the various forms of vulnerability that can affect individuals or groups, on a one-off or permanent basis. The various norms and systems are thus analyzed in terms of their principles, practices, effectiveness, contradictions, players and developments, with a resolutely forward-looking objective and an important fundamental research dimension.SSBE has developed national and international expertise in the fields of social protection, welfare, psychosocial risks, mental health, equality and non-discrimination, and issues closely or remotely related to public health (patients' rights, aging, disability...), as well as in interdisciplinary research methodology.

Special attention is therefore paid to the field of public law (constitutional law and civil liberties, administrative law and criminal law and procedure), and particularly to the individual in his or her relationship with public authority. Various contexts of vulnerability are targeted: terrorism, radicalization, religious minorities, gender discrimination, armed conflicts, incivilities, begging, mental disorders, organized crime, sexual and gender violence, child pornography, cyber harassment, professional secrecy, anti-discrimination, etc.While the Unit is fundamentally rooted in legal science research, and in the field of public law in particular, it is also - like each of the Units that make up the V&S Centre - interdisciplinary and naturally draws on other social sciences to refine its expertise.
