About the Resource Guide

Welcome to the Fifth Edition of the Health and Human Rights Resource Guide. This publication is designed to be a resource on how to apply a human rights-based approach to health issues for advocates and practitioners worldwide.

Within the guide you will find an introduction and ten topical chapters. The introduction provides a primer on the human right to health. Each of the ten chapters focuses on a specific health issue or a vulnerable population.

We hope that that you will find the updated Resource Guide a useful addition to your programming and advocacy toolkit.
