Rethinking…
• ViolenceStructural Violence
The invisible patterns of inequality that reproduce social relations of exclusion and marginalization through ideologies, stigmas and discourses attendant to gender, race, class and other markers of social identity

Rethinking…
•HealthHealth is a right for all people, not a privilege.
We can’t achieve this as long as we live in a world with social and structural inequalities
Racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, ableism, colonialism
Civic engagement, social and political action are key components of health
