Harvard FXB Center for Health and Human rights uses interdisciplinary approaches to promote equity and dignity for those oppressed by racism, poverty and stigma, nationally and around the world. We are proud to partner with a diverse group of scholars, educators, elected officials, government agencies, nonprofit organizations and members of the international policy community to advance health and human rights, and to show the harmful effects of violations on children.

What sets FXB apart is its commitment to filling critical gaps in mainstream academic scholarship. It is the only university-wide center in the United States dedicated to the health and human rights of Palestinian and Roma people, advancing rigorous research and shaping policy conversations too often ignored. This also includes pioneering work on unaccompanied migrant children and more generally child protection, a field long neglected in academia precisely because children cannot advocate for themselves.
