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

Deadline: April 28, 2006

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
