E32: Medicine, Science, and Human Rights with Christian De Vos and Payal Shah of Physicians for Human Rights

This episode engages with a range of themes at the intersection of human rights and medicine with Christian De Vos, Director of Research and Investigations, and Payal Shah, Director of the Program on Sexual Violence in Conflict Zones, at Physicians for Human Rights (PHR). They discuss PHR’s work gathering evidence of grave human rights abuses to advance justice processes, supporting clinicians to provide survivor-centered, trauma-informed care, and advancing advocacy to change law and policy. They cover such issues as sexual violence in armed conflict contexts, support for asylum seekers, attacks on health workers and facilities, and instances of medical professionals’ complicity in torture and cruel and inhumane treatment. De Vos and Shah draw on a range of country examples, including Bangladesh, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Syria, Ukraine, and the United States.
