Human rights violations are underlying causes of adverse health
outcomes for vulnerable people and populations around the world.
Public Health and Human Rights provides critical, evidence-based
assessments and tools with which to investigate the role of rights
abrogation in the health of populations -- from repressive laws to
social discord, gender-based violence, human trafficking, and
violations in conflict.
Divided into three sections, this provocative work investigates
how the complex interactions between rights and health can best be
studied, analyzed, and remedied; how the efforts of human rights
advocates affect health outcomes; and how modern public health
procedures can assist in documenting, understanding, and preventing
human rights violations. Part I illuminates the powerful
relationship between rights work and public health practice in
Thailand, Russia, Burma, and China and in U.S. prisons. Part II
explores new methodologies and new uses of previous practices for
rights-based public health research. Part III confronts current
policy approaches -- such as Brazil's integration of rights,
HIV/AIDS programming, and the contradictory and confounding global
policies on illicit drugs -- and offers recommendations for future
programs and strategies.
