Law, Policy and Rights Program

The Program works with NGO networks, human rights organizations, and women's health organizations in the US and internationally to address the legal, policy and human rights dimensions of health, with a particular emphasis on women's reproductive health and on the rights of people living with and vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. Program issues and perspectives are reflected in the Law, Policy and Rights course offered in the Department. There is an interest in expanding research capabilities in this area as well as placement opportunities for student practica.
