"Important links between health and human rights are increasingly being recognised
and human rights can be viewed as one of the social determinants of health. Furthermore,
a human rights framework provides an excellent foundation for advocacy on health inequalities,
a value-based alternative to views of health as a commodity, and the opportunity to
move away from public health action being based on charity. This text aims to demystify
the complexity of systems for the protection and promotion of human rights globally,
regionally and nationally. It explores the use and usefulness of rights-based approaches
as an important part of the tool-box available to health and welfare professionals
and community members working in a variety of settings to improve health and reduce
health inequities. Global in its scope, Health Equity, Social Justice and Human Rights
presents examples from all regions of the world to illustrate the successful use of
human rights approaches in fields such as HIV/AIDS, improving accessibility to essential
drugs, reproductive health, women's health, and improving the health of marginalised
and disadvantaged groups. Understanding human rights and their interrelationships
with health and health equity is essential for public health and health promotion
practitioners, as well as being important for a wide range of other health and social
welfare professionals. This text is valuable reading for students, practitioners and
researchers concerned with combating health inequalities and promoting social justice"--Provided
