Vision
The Health and Human Rights Group is committed to human rights issues. We hold a broad commitment to a world free of human rights abuses of all kinds, but focus our efforts upon health.
We hope for a global society where all people of all nations, indigenous and non-indigenous, have equal access to health, inclusive of its environmental and social determinants: education, security of person and family, protection from persecution, plentiful food and water, a sanitary community, the opportunity to practice basic personal hygiene, and healthcare based on advances in research, knowledge, and technology. We view these things as basic human rights, their denial as abuse, and their achievement as a matter of priority.
Mission
Our mission is to educate and mobilise our members to address three important and intertwined areas of interest – refugee health, global health, and indigenous health.
Aims
- Increase the awareness of our members and colleagues about the key issues facing health in a human rights setting, encompassing indigenous health, refugee health and global health.
- Enable and encourage members to become involved in our projects and programs in Adelaide, in the broader Australian community and overseas.
