ABSTRACT          

Administrative law plays a pivotal role in the protection and promotion of human rights, particularly for women, children, and vulnerable groups. These laws regulate the actions of public authorities, ensuring accountability, fairness, and non-discrimination in decision-making processes that directly affect these populations. For women, administrative law addresses genderbased issues such as equality in the workplace, access to social services, and protection from violence. For children, it ensures rights related to education, healthcare, and protection from abuse or exploitation. Vulnerable groups, including the elderly, disabled individuals, and marginalized communities, are safeguarded by administrative frameworks that prevent social exclusion and promote equal access to public resources. Administrative bodies, such as human rights commissions and ombudsmen, provide accessible mechanisms for challenging government actions that may violate these rights. By aligning domestic regulations with constitutional and international human rights standards, administrative law helps uphold the dignity, rights, and welfare of women, children, and other vulnerable groups, ensuring justice and protection from abuses of power.
