Building on our decades of commitment to human rights in medicine and healthcare, we have published a new report on emerging threats ... health-related human rights both globally and in the UK. 'Health and human rights in the new world (dis)order' outlines a shifting rights landscape in which new technologies, environmental change and geopolitical reconfigurations are putting renewed and at times intense stress on human rights, both in medicine and healthcare more broadly. more
Human rights-based approaches to the creation of knowledge involve application of human rights p... more
Young children are especially susceptible to exposure to trauma. Rates of abuse and neglect among this population are staggering. This article presents a review ... relevant literature, including research findings specific to early childhood vulnerability to trauma, symptoms associated with traumatic events, diagnostic validity of early childhood trauma, and treatments for young children. In the past, misconceptions about the mental health of young children have hindered accurate diagnosis and treatment of trauma-related mental illness. Due to the prevalence of trauma exposure in early childhood, counselors are encouraged to become familiar with ways that clients and families are impacted and methods for treatment. Implications for future research also are presented. more
mnesty International’s annual report on the state of the world’s human rights in 2021, published in... March 2022, shows that promises to “build back better” after the Covid-19 pandemic were little more than lip service. Hopes of global cooperation withered in the face of vaccine hoarding and corporate greed. Governments suppressed independent and critical voices, with some even using the pandemic as a pretext to shrink further the civic space. New and unresolved conflicts erupted or persisted. Those forced to flee were subjected to a litany of abuses, including pushbacks by countries in the Global North. But hopes for a better post-pandemic world were kept alive by courageous individuals, social movements and civil society organizations. The report is available in different languages more
Experience from Save the Children and partners globally demonstrates that improvements in education quality go hand-in-hand with inclusion and ac... more
This document has been developed to provide training and guidance on how to integrate a human rights approach in mental health and related areas, based on international human ... instruments, in particular the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). more

This study has been produced jointly by Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, a federally owned enterprise, implementing development programmes on behalf of the German Government, and CBM, a non-governmental organisation. Accor... more

The report underscores that sexual and reproductive health and rights are often the first to be sacrificed during epidemics and that the gains of the past decade must be protected. The report also m... more
This report aims to raise awareness about the role that the reform of public health laws can play in advancing the right to health and ... creating the conditions for people to live healthy lives. By encouraging a better understanding of how public health law can be used to improve the health of the population, the report aims to encourage and assist governments to reform their public health laws in order to advance the right to health.
The report highlights important issues that may arise during the process of public health law reform. It provides guidance about issues and requirements to be addressed during the process of developing public health laws. It also includes case studies and examples of legislation from a variety of countries to illustrate effective law reform practices and some features of effective public health legislation. more
Commissioned by Plan International the report draws on data from research conducted in Bangladesh in April 2018. It explores how adolescent girls within two age brackets (10-14 and 15-19) understand... more
The right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health is enshrined ... many international human rights treaties. However, studies have shown that people with mental disabilities are often marginalized and discriminated against in the fulfillment of their right to health. The aim of this study is to identify and reach a broader understanding of barriers to the right to mental health in the Eastern Cape Province in South Africa. Eleven semi-structured interviews were carried out with health professionals and administrators. more
“They Treated Us in Monstrous Ways”. Since the Syrian conflict began in March 2011, men and boys and transgender women have been subjected to rape and other forms ... sexual violence by the Syrian government and non-state armed groups, including the extremist armed group Islamic State (also known as ISIS).
