How PHR Works
Health professionals working with PHR use forensic investigations such as autopsies, as well as medical and pyschological evaluations, to determine what sort of abuse victims have endured. These evaluations can then be presented in court as evidence, or published in reports and brought to the attention of the media.
PHR also does advocacy work. This may include campaigning for the release of imprisoned health professionals, promoting policy change, or calling for governments to act in response to human rights violations.

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“They commonly celebrate those beaches only which have a hotel on them, not those which have a humane house alone. But I wished to see that seashore where man’s works are wrecks; to put up at the true Atlantic House, where the ocean is land-lord as well as sea-lord, and comes ashore without a wharf for the landing; where the crumbling land is the only invalid, or at best is but dry land, and that is all you can say of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
