Adrienne Germain: A Leader in Women's Health Rights

2015

This case explores strategies for changing policy and attitudes at national and international levels through the lens of women’s health. Adrienne Germain: A Leader in Women’s Health Rights charts the career of Adrienne Germain, a leader in the field of women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Germain successfully broadened and shifted the area of reproductive health to encompass SRHR. While the context of this case is women’s health, Germain’s strategies and choices would also interest those focused on generating lasting social change. The lessons students could learn from the use of this case in classroom discussion easily extend beyond women’s health to areas of social change, political advocacy, and the importance of judicious negotiation in health policy efforts.
