Annotated Bibliography: Sexuality and Human Rights
Susana T. Fried and the International Women’s Heath Coalition have put together an annotated bibliography on sexuality and human rights.
It provides a comprehensive introduction to the issues related to sexual rights/sexuality and human rights.
This bibliography on the subject is divided into two parts: the first introduces abstracts for a selection of diverse essays that present either a conceptual overview of sexual rights or a particular aspect of sexuality and human rights; the second lists selected articles, essays, books, and other sexual rights resources that are useful for those who want to look in greater detail at particular areas of work.
Areas highlighted include sexuality and violence, refugees/asylum, reproductive rights, lesbian and gay rights, and trafficking.

Health and Human Rights
Health and Human Rights is an international quarterly journal published by the Harvard School of Public Health, Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Center for Health and Human Rights.
The journal explores the reciprocal influences of health and human rights, including the impact of public health programs and policies on human rights, the health consequences of human rights violations, the importance of health for the realization of human rights, and the ways in which the promotion of human rights can be incorporated as an integral part of public health strategies.
The journal publishes scholarly articles, commentaries, editorials, reports, profiles, as book reviews and bibliographies.
