Confronting Gender Based Violence: Global Lessons for Healthcare Workers
Many countries around the world are plagued by violence that has a negative impact on health care. The 'Health Care in Danger' project aims to develop practical measures and recommendations that policymakers, humanitarian organizations, and health professionals can put into action on the ground. Given the diversity of actors and latitudes involved, it is critical to be able to provide everyone with the tools they need to make informed decisions, guide behavior in high-risk areas, and create and optimize dialogue between humanitarian and health professionals on the one hand, and relevant authorities or other armed actors on the other.
This course covers a wide range of topics, including ethics, rights and responsibilities of health-care and pre-hospital personnel, international law and humanitarian law, international human rights, caregivers and patient safety, and the role of communities in addressing and reducing violence against health-care workers.
