The Right To Go Topless

Women Win The Right To Go Topless in 6 States

One of the reasons that the 10th Circuit overturned the ban was the expert testimony of the head of psychology at Colorado College, Tomi-Ann Roberts, who testified to this harmfulness. Some of her areas of research include “Social psychology of emotion, gender, and the body; psychological consequences of the sexual objectification of women and girls; gender differences in self-evaluation, self-conscious emotions, and perceptions of bodily states.”

"Lembrei-me de uma história de meu tempo de adolescente: Um colega e grande amigo LXP, contava que um peão de estância dizia que não queria morrer antes de assistir o "encontro das modas". Os decotes iam descendo e as saias subindo. Ele imaginava que se daria a uns três dedos abaixo do umbigo..."

Comentário do AMICOR Urbano Leonel Sant'Anna:

Muito bom, Dr. Achutti! 

É uma pena que muitos colegas façam questão de negar o papel decisivo da pobreza e da desigualdade na piora dos índices de qualidade de vida e de saúde da população mundial, negando assim um dos princípios mais fundamentais do conceito de saúde da Organização Mundial de Saúde.

Um grande abraço!

Atenciosamente,

Informe Especial

De la retórica a la acción: medir desigualdades en salud para “no dejar a nadie atrás” = From words to action: measuring health inequalities to “leave no one behind”

Source: Rev Panam Salud Publica;43, jan. 2019

Published online: January 2019

[RESUMEN]. La equidad en salud es un principio rector de la acción en salud pública –cuyo noble propósito es construir sociedades más saludables y sostenibles y, al mismo tiempo, más justas e inclusivas. Ello se refleja en el compromiso mundial por ‘no dejar a nadie atrás’ que preside la Agenda 2030 para el desarrollo sostenible, aunque en ninguna de sus 169 metas se establezca ni conceptual ni cuantitativamente la reducción de desigualdades en salud. Reconociendo la urgencia de trascender la retórica y avanzar consecuentemente en la formulación y puesta en marcha de políticas sociales y de salud pro-equitativas –de lo local a lo global–, en este informe especial se revisan las bases conceptuales y metodológicas para el abordaje de la equidad en salud, se vinculan explícitamente en una propuesta instrumental y práctica que promueve el uso analítico de los datos administrativos disponibles desagregados subnacionalmente para informar la toma de decisiones en esa dirección, y se concluye planteando la necesidad de institucionalizar la medición, análisis y monitoreo de las desigualdades sociales en salud para crear efectivamente capacidades nacionales para actuar sobre los determinantes sociales y ambientales de la salud y rendir cuentas sobre el compromiso de no dejar a nadie atrás en el camino hacia el desarrollo sostenible, la salud universal y la justicia social.

As inequality grows, so does the political influence of the rich

Human Capital


A healthy and educated population is a foundation for economic success, raising living standards and the dignity of all people across the world, particularly those on the lowest incomes. Broadly defined as the qualities that make people able to contribute to a productive economy, human capital has repeatedly been found to be at the core of development. Differences in such capital arising from inequalities in access to health or education abound both between countries and within them.  There is little doubt about its importance. Whether it is the causal link between increased years of schooling in the US and rising incomes or the fact that most advanced economies have expanded higher education significantly in the past 20 years without depressing graduate pay, societies wanting to advance have often improved the health and education of their people first.

Liberty x Equity

Offline: Liberty vs equity in global health

Richard HortonEmail the author Richard Horton

Published: 24 March 2018

s equity the defining objective of global health in the 21st century? Equity is hardwired into every definition of global health. It would be insane to argue otherwise. But global health is too important to allow this assumption to go unchallenged. Global health is about who we are, who we want to be, and how we want to live together on this wounded world of ours. Global health is about everything we hold dear in life. So if we ask what is wrong with our societies today, is the answer really that we have too little equity?

Equity is a situation in which everyone is treated fairly and equally. I wish that equity could be global health's principal concern. But it cannot be. Global health is not about equity. It is about power. Whether you are black, female, or poor, indigenous, homeless, or unemployed. Global health is about the power of the few over the many. The power of the rich over the poor. The power of the advantaged over the disadvantaged. Equity certainly matters to be sure. But equity is not directly concerned with power. Indeed, the very idea of equity itself risks perpetuating disempowerment and injustice by disregarding the forces that damage and distort our lives, our communities, our ecologies. If equity is not the defining objective of global health, then what is? The answer is liberty. Liberty is anterior to equity. Fairness can never be achieved unless each of us has realised our aspiration for self-determination. Liberty is necessary to enable any kind of association on equal terms. The liberty to think, desire, create, express, and live without interference or coercion—this is what it means to be human. And health has an explicit connection to liberty. Ill-health restricts and depletes our liberties. If we are sick, our freedom to enjoy our lives, to achieve our hopes, to reach our objectives is compromised. Creating health in a society protects and advances our liberty. Health is an instrument to create the motive force—liberty—for justice and equity. But why liberty really matters is far more because of dignity. Dignity demands that each of us is an end in ourselves, not a means to someone else's end. We are not objects that can be tied by the unjust ropes of society. We will not be humiliated by those with power over us. Dignity is our right to live in a decent society, and liberty is our shield in that struggle. The sovereignty of the individual is the precursor of human dignity. And without dignity there can be no equity.

Identifying liberty as the touchstone of global health has important consequences for our conception of justice. If the objective of global health is dignity, we have a duty to hold accountable those sources of power that deprive peoples of liberty—authoritarian regimes, religious fundamentalists, and transnational corporations, with their tools of exploitation, repression, and censorship. Equity without liberty leads us to oppressive conformity. The death of the human spirit. The annihilation of all that it means to be human. Liberty as the path to equity is emancipation from enslavement. The rebirth, in Emma Goldman's words, of the “social soul”. Those who advocate for equity underestimate the forces in society that limit our freedoms to be active agents for social change. To be for liberty is not to be for libertarianism. Liberty is no excuse for populism or xenophobia. If liberty is viewed as freedom from social evils, as well as freedom to be the person we want to be, one can understand that the project for liberty is encouragingly broad. Liberty leads us, if not to paradise, then at least to the possibility of realising our full humanity, finding better ways to discover truths about ourselves and the world, improving our governance through robust debate, and embracing our diversity. The goal of global health is not equity. It is to remove the chains that enslave the human mind. The chains that subjugate us to the humiliations and punishments of others. The chains that allow those with unaccountable power to strip away our dignity. Liberty is the acid that will dissolve those chains. Liberty enables us to engage with one another in deeper and more intimate exchange. To imagine a different world. To motivate us for a future that can indeed be based on equity. Equity as the defining objective of global health? Yes. But tomorrow, not today.

ABSTRACT

The Report presents analyses of various health equity trends affecting the nation’s diverse, vulnerable, and socially disadvantaged populations. Trends in health disparities and improvements in health equity are presented for a number of program areas, including maternal and child health, primary health care access and quality, HIV/AIDS, mental and behavioral health, chronic disease prevention and health promotion, health workforce, and rural-urban and geographic disparities. Also addressed are patterns of disparities in three priority areas for the Department of Health and Human Services: mental health, opioid use, and childhood obesity. Health equity analyses are conducted using a variety of national and HRSA program databases, often stratified by important socioeconomic and demographic /.../

Taking stock of the social determinants of health: A scoping review Kelsey Lucyk Lindsay McLaren 

• Published: May 11, 2017

Abstract

Background

In recent decades, the social determinants of health (SDOH) has gained increasing prominence as a foundational concept for population and public health in academic literature and policy documents, internationally. However, alongside its widespread dissemination, and in light of multiple conceptual models, lists, and frameworks, some dilution and confusion is apparent. This scoping review represents an attempt to take stock of SDOH literature in the context of contemporary population and public health.

Methods

We conducted a scoping review to synthesize and map SDOH literature, informed by the methods of Arksey and O’Malley (2005). We searched 5 academic and 3 grey literature databases for “social determinants of health” and “population health” or “public health” or “health promotion,” published 2004–2014. We also conducted a search on “inequity” or “inequality” or “disparity” or “social gradient” and “Canad*” to ensure that we captured articles where this language was used to discuss the SDOH. We included articles that discussed SDOH in depth, either explicitly or in implicit but nuanced ways. We hand-searched reference lists to further identify relevant articles.

Findings

Our synthesis of 108 articles showed wide variation by study setting, target audience, and geographic scope, with most articles published in an academic setting, by Canadian authors, for policy-maker audiences. SDOH were communicated by authors as a list, model, or story; each with strengths and weaknesses. Thematic analysis identified one theme: health equity as an overarching and binding concept to the SDOH. Health equity was understood in different ways with implications for action on the SDOH.

Conclusions

Among the vast SDOH literature, there is a need to identify and clearly articulate the essence and implications of the SDOH concept. We recommend that authors be intentional in their efforts to present and discuss SDOH to ensure that they speak to its foundational concept of health equity.
