However, an important gap remains between theoretical approaches and pragmatic considerations. In the general framework of violence prevention, human rights and public health approaches are two powerful tools that can address major issues together. However, human rights and public health are usually considered separately in the implementation of violence prevention programmes. This article makes a contribution to safety promotion and injury prevention by bringing together these two approaches to violence and, more generally, to health threats. In order to facilitate a global understanding, the article will first review the basic concept of human rights and also give a concise overview of the notion of the individual's right to health. Then, there will be a particular focus of interest on violence from a human rights perspective, and the elements that can best complement the public health approach will be analysed. Bearing in mind how both human rights and public health can be combined efficiently, some concrete examples, such as child maltreatment, interpersonal violence, and violence against women, will be considered. In conclusion, the article will give direction and recommendations for integrating human rights concepts into public health in order to strengthen pragmatic actions that will ultimately guarantee individuals access to the highest attainable level of health.

Violence became the most important cause of \u0000death in the general population. In 1992 the mayor of Cali initiated a comprehensive programme \u0000aimed at reducing crime by controlling risk factors in the city. The programme followed a public health \u0000approach and assumed a multi-factoral causal mechanism, requiring interventions in the police, legal, \u0000educational and cultural systems, as well as robust multi-sectoral partnerships. Bogota adopted a \u0000similar programme in 1995. During the period 1994-2004, homicide rates declined in Bogota, from 82 \u0000to 28 while those of Cali declined from 126 to 100. Both cities followed a similar public health \u0000approach to violence prevention, but only Bogota was able to maintain the policies for a period of ten \u0000years. Both cities developed effective coalitions within governmental agencies, with the private sector, \u0000and the community around the theme of violence prevention. This paper describes the most \u0000significant interventions and partnerships implemented in Cali and Bogota, and postulates that \u0000reliable information is key to obtaining sustainable policies. The paper also suggests that the \u0000Colombian experience may be applicable to other similar contexts.","PeriodicalId":41085,"journal":{"name":"African Safety Promotion","volume":"93 1","pages":"88-98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76490037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The many-headed monster of globalisation has become a \u0000behemoth of destruction with a compliant media mouthpiece as one of its key weapons. Feminists in \u0000peace time struggle to be heard, and the difficulty of this has escalated since 2001 in the Western \u0000European-derived cultures where there has been a resurgence of calls for patriotism. There are \u0000many reasons why feminists are suspicious of patriotism. The first is the way in which patriotism is a \u0000bulwark for patriarchy. Women are called up to assist \"their men and their country\". In this paper, I \u0000identify a number of areas in which women's lives are negatively affected by patriotism and war. \u0000Among them are increased sexual violence; increased \"accidental deaths\" because of the \u0000proliferation of small arms; \"collateral damage\" through high levels of casualties in the civilian \u0000population; verbal battery and the concomitant increase in vilification of women both linguistically and \u0000through pornographic images; normalisation of torture and rape of those women who resist patriotism \u0000- those who promote peace and feminism - among them lesbians and refugees; and the \u0000dispossession of indigenous and traditional women whose ownership of land depends on customary \u0000law, and direct and continuing connection with the land.","PeriodicalId":41085,"journal":{"name":"African Safety Promotion","volume":"2 1","pages":"20-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74477085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
