Sofia Gruskin is a Professor of Preventive Medicine at the Keck School of Medicine and Professor of Law and Preventive Medicine at the Gould School of Law, University of Southern California. She is also an adjunct professor in the Department of Global Health and Population at the T.H. Chan School of Public Health at Harvard University.

Gruskin observed that around the world a broad range of rights were being restricted in the name of public health but without proper justification, resulting in widespread violations of rights with devastating health effects. At that time there were no documented research efforts or programmatic activities explicitly linking health and human rights, and no evidence of the utility of these links for the work of public health. In 1993, Jonathan Mann brought Gruskin and Daniel Tarantola, M.D., together to establish the (François-Xavier Bagnoud Center for Health and Human Rights at Harvard University ). During Gruskin’s time there, she was the head of Harvard School of Public Health’s Program on International Health and Human Rights and co-director the Interdepartmental Program on Women, Gender and Health. She also chaired the Group on Reproductive Health and Rights based at the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies. Sofia Gruskin was on the Amnesty International Board of Directors (1996-2000); Chair of the UNAIDS Global Reference Group on HIV/AIDS and Human Rights, (2002-2006); the principal architect of the (2003 General Comment on HIV/AIDS promulgated by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child ); a standing member of the (Scientific Review Committee on Behavioral and Social Consequences of HIV/AIDS for the National Institutes of Health ) (2005-2009); a member of the . (Institute of Medicine's Committee for the Outcome and Impact Evaluation of Global HIV/AIDS Programs ) Implemented Under the Lantos/Hyde Act of 2008 (PEPFAR, 2010-2013) and the Technical Advisory Group of the (UN Global Commission on HIV and the Law ) (2010-2012). The field of health and human rights is now well recognized, and Gruskin has been a singular figure continuously at the cutting edge of conceptual and programming advances. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sofia Gruskin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
