Event
The First Annual South Los Angeles Health and Human Rights Conference
REGISTRATION IS FREE.
There is a fundamental crisis of health and human rights in south Los Angeles. South L.A. has the poorest health outcomes and indicators in the County of Los Angeles mirroring the health status in some developing nations. Homelessness, slum housing, violence, food disparity and lack of resources reflect the underlying epidemic in the social determinants of poor health.
This groundbreaking conference will advance the understanding of health and human rights in south Los Angeles and develop a call to action to improve the health of residents at home and beyond. We will share local challenges and solutions and develop partnerships with local and national partners. Colleagues from across the world will share their experiences and examples of the international health and human rights movement.
Confirmed speakers include:
Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, Los Angeles County, 2nd District
