Center for Public Health and Human Rights
Housed in the Department of Epidemiology, CPHHR bridges public health methodologies with human rights law to address systemic injustices and promote both health equity and human dignity worldwide.
| Using Public Health Research | Rights-Based Solutions | Advancing Health and Dignity |
| We leverage epidemiological methods to explore how violations of human rights—such as exclusion, discrimination, or conflict—impact health outcomes. | We develop approaches integrating human rights into public health interventions, such as safeguarding health workers in conflict zones and preventing practices like torture. | We combine scientific research with advocacy to tackle critical issues, ensuring that marginalized communities are protected and included in healthcare frameworks. |
