Health and Human Rights: Video Series With Alicia Ely Yamin
2017
This video series on health and human rights was developed by the Global Health Education and Learning Incubator in collaboration with human rights lawyer Alicia Ely Yamin, as part of a larger teaching pack on that interdisciplinary topic. Through a collection of three videos, Yamin uses narrative to introduce the concepts of health and human rights, explain how they are related to each other, and articulate why they matter in today’s world.

Health, Human Rights, and the Sustainable Development Agenda: In the third video, Yamin describes how health-related human rights developed during the era of the Millennium Development Goals (2000-2015) and the Sustainable Development Goals (2016-2030).
