The American Journal of Public Health Devotes Issue to Human Rights. The October issue of this prestigious medical journal includes articles by Garfield, Wise, Waldman, Sidel, Marks, Farmer and more. Subjects covered include economic sanctions, South Africa, Haiti, Afghanistan, welfare reform, and American women and HIV. There's also a good section on books and web sites.
DGH Sponsors Visual Arts Contest. Our previous Health and Human Rights Contest was very successful. It commemorated the 50th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights with poetry that explored the theme of DGH's mission, Promoting health and human rights with those who have difficulty making their voices heard. The Visual Arts Contest will address the same theme through a variety of visual art mediums. Look for details in the up-coming months on this DGH web site.

We will work out some transportation arrangements for people coming in to the Atlanta airport or bus station.
