Making Health Rights a Reality in South Africa — with SECTION27’s Sasha Stevenson

 

What if healthcare, including reproductive healthcare, education and housing were rights recognized in your country’s constitution? In South Africa, they are! Sasha Stevenson, a human rights lawyer based in Johannesburg and the Executive Director of SECTION27, talks with Françoise about the brave and passionate work her organization has done, in partnership with community-based groups, to turn those rights into reality. From preventing HIV in newborns to ensuring anti-retroviral treatment to everyone and securing effective access to second trimester abortion, SECTION27 has led the charge.
