Values, policies and rights

Human rights are gaining increasing attention in development discourse internationally, but may pose potential contradictions to policies that seek to promote health equity. EQUINET has begun to explore what kinds of rights approaches are best suited to an equity agenda, and aims to deepen these frameworks through participatory action research in selected projects the region. Capacity building to engage rights frameworks will also be developed through EQUINET’s participating institutions.

Work is being done by the Health and Human Rights Division, School of Public Health and Family Medicine, University of Cape Town.
