The Program on International Health and Human Rights (PIHHR) was created in 1997 as a core program of the François Xavier-Bagnoud Center for Health and Human Rights (FXB) at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), Boston, Massachusetts, and in 2006 was granted status as a self-standing program within the Department of Global Health and Population at HSPH. In 2011 the Program moved to the University of Southern California and is now called the Program on Global Health & Human Rights (GHHR). Since its inception the Program has been directed by Professor Sofia Gruskin. PIHHR's focus while at HSPH was to further understanding of the interaction between health and human rights and apply this knowledge to the development of public health policy and practice. PIHHR worked particularly in the areas of HIV/AIDS, sexual and reproductive health, child and adolescent health, gender-based violence and health systems strengthening.
