内容説明

Many public health practitioners and students struggle with the true meaning and practical application of rights-based approaches in their work. This volume presents examples of public health programs utilizing right-based approaches so health services can reach those that are in most need. This book helps readers appreciate public health programs utilizing rights-based approaches and adapt those approaches for use in their own careers. Although evidence-based best practices for right-based approaches have not been documented until now, the tools and case studies presented in this book will provide the best models available. Case studies will include public health programs employing participatory methods, with an emphasis on the principles of evidence and results, non-discrimination, dignity and correlation to international human rights documents. Examples are taken from both domestic and international programs. The book outlines broad issues involved in health and human rights, including women's rights, environmental issues such as the right to healthy food, air, and water. Additionally, the book examines professional obligations and roles, and offers specific case studies from organizations and practitioners around the world. Finally, the book looks at systemic and policy implications of a rights-based approach to public health.
