Until We Are All Equal: Protecting Equal Rights

As we continue our IIGH 5th anniversary event series with its focus on power, partnerships and rights, we invite you to join us for the third of these events as we explore the importance of equal rights alongside the need for equal power dynamics and partnerships in global health. This virtual event “Until We Are All Equal: Protecting Equal Rights,” will take place on Wednesday, November 13th, at 9:00 am PST/12:00 pm EST/6:00 pm CET.

Promoting and protecting health-related human rights has been central to the mission and vision of the USC Institute on Inequalities in Global Health since we came into being in 2019. Over the past five years, we have witnessed devastating attacks on health-related human rights across the globe. These rights regressions are of tremendous concern and challenge decades of work that have advanced the health and human rights of all people.

This one-hour virtual panel will emphasize the importance for health of reclaiming rights amid anti-rights and anti-gender movements in this complex geopolitical moment. Our conversation will reflect in particular on the importance for sexual and reproductive health and rights, and explore strategies for disrupting unequal power dynamics and pushing forward with equal partnerships to better protect rights, health and well-being. This virtual IIGH 5th anniversary event will bring together key health and human rights professionals to spur a collective vision for advancing health and rights in the next five years, and beyond.

The conversation will begin with an introduction from IIGH Director Sofia Gruskin and will be moderated by IIGH Research Director Laura Ferguson.

The webinar is hosted by the USC Institute on Inequalities in Global Health.

Please join us on Wednesday, November 13, at 9:00 am PST/12:00 pm EST/6:00 pm CET.
