"Health as a Human Right: Health Education, Equality and Social Justice for All"

=20

Deadline: April 28, 2006

=20

You are invited to submit a proposal for a concurrent session, a pre- or post-conference workshop, or a poster presentation at the SOPHE 57th Annual Meeting, November 2-4, 2006 in Boston, MA.=20

http://www.sophe.org/abstract <http://www.sophe.org/abstract>=20

Every country throughout the world now has at least one seminal human-rights treaty that includes the right to health and a variety of rights relating to conditions necessary for health. The promotion and protection of health and the respect, protection and fulfillment of human rights are inextricably linked. From Boston to Bangkok, history is replete with examples of how violations of or lack of attention to human rights have seriously impacted human health - from slavery and torture to violence against women and children.=20

SOPHE's 2006 Annual Meeting will examine the impact of reciprocal influences of health and human rights, including the impact public health programs and policies have on human rights and health disparities, the consequences human rights violations have on health, the importance of health in realizing human rights, and the ways in which health educators can ensure that human rights are integrated into public health strategies to eliminate disparities.=20
