Students will understand the history and context of the more controversial rights of reproduction and sexuality, and how these gender issues influence the interpretation of the rights in different countries.
Students will learn to apply the human rights framework in analyzing policy, and how different institutions (WHO) apply the human rights framework.
Students will understand how the perspective of human rights is applied for different cases like abortion, FGM, reproductive technology and homosexuality and how one can apply other disciplines’ phenomenology and theory to understand conflicts (anthropology, culture, religion history, law and the health services).
Students will learn how reproductive rights can become a field of research.
