We would like to invite you to view the latest issue of *Health and Human
Rights: An International Journal*. Full-text articles from this theme issue
on “*Non-discrimination and Equality*” are now available at
http://www.hhrjournal.org/.

 Volume 11, Number 2, includes conceptual articles on the correlation
between discrimination and health inequity, from the mental health field to
Brazil’s litigation practices. The journal also features analyses of Kenya’s
cash transfer program, New Orleans’ housing rights post-Katrina, and
Mexico’s reproductive rights, among other topics of global resonance.

 The full table of contents, which includes an exciting array of essays
grouped under “Critical Concepts” or “Health and Human Rights in Practice,”
is provided below. Please visit our website for free full text online.

 We also invite submissions for forthcoming issues. The deadline for our
next theme issue, on “The Social Conditions of Health: Convergences and
Dysjunctures,” is March 15, 2010. Further submissions information is
available at: http://www.hhrjournal.org/index.php/hhr/about/submissions.
