Human rights is an underutilized, yet powerful approach when it comes to developing caregiving policies globally. Canada is leading<br />
the effort to recognize caregiving as a human rights issue. The United States and other countries are just beginning to think about the<br />
rights of the family caregiver in addition to the rights of the care recipient. Hear from a distinguished international panel on suggested<br />
human rights for caregivers to address societal expectations placed upon them, with or without their consent. Find out how<br />
the role of culture impacts the perceived human rights of caregivers, particularly among Latino caregivers.<br />
