25 Questions and Answers on Health and Human Rights.
(You need Adobe Acrobat Reader to access this document)

Human rights violations such as discrimination or violence against
women and children and harmful traditional practices can have serious
health consequences. Protecting human rights, however, can reduce
vulnerability to and the impact of ill health. To acknowledge and spell
out the linkages between health and human rights, the World Health
Organization published this document. This is the first compilation of
answers to key questions in an area which lately has received added
focus and attention. The booklet is intended to assist governments and
others concerned in developing a human rights approach to public health
work. You can see it at:
