Abstract:
People with mental disorders face an alarming range of human rights abuses in countries throughout the world, yet there are proven ways to dramatically improve the situation. WHO is drawing attention to the problems and the solutions in a new online photo essay: Forgotten People: Mental Health and Human Rights, which highlights some of these human rights violations, and gives examples of how they can and must be stopped.Keywords: World Health Organization, Lee Jong-Wook, International Human Rights Day
