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 an opportunity to move away from public health action being based on charity. This text demystifies systems set up 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 toolbox available to health and welfare professionals and community members working in a variety of settings to improve health and reduce health inequities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlobal in its scope, \u003ci\u003eHealth Equity, Social Justice, and Human Rights \u003c\/i\u003epresents examples from all over the world to illustrate the successful use of human rights approaches in fields such as HIV\/AIDS, improving access to essential drugs, reproductive health, women's health, and improving the health of marginalised and disadvantaged groups.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnderstanding 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.
