Abstract:
Attention to the interdependence of health and human rights has increasingly been recognized as vaualble to efforts to improve child health. Through application of a health and human rights analysis to two case examples, we hope to shed light on a valuable framework for use by health professionals with relevance to myriad health topics. This review briefly assesses relevant literature, defines key concepts, provides two examples of real-world application to children's sexual and reproductive health and rights, and concludes with a discussion on how a rights-based approach can be used in practice by child health professionals to support the rights and health of the children they work with.
