A wonderfully insightful course, with many real-life case studies that reveal the ingrained and systemic abuse that so many women face. The course had the right balance of videos and reading material.

It's a very good and interesting course, that covers a very wide range of issues relating to women's health and human rights. I really enjoyed watching the interviews with brilliant professionals working in various fields in relation to women's health and rights. I also enjoyed that it gets an in-depth approach to examine important issues. I have definitely learnt a lot!

Two weaknesses of this course however are:

1. It is not up-to-date, most of the materials (with data) provided are obsolete. It's still interesting to build general knowledge on an issue or better understand the theoretical aspects, however it is not reliable when it comes to data (since the course was prepared 10 years ago). That's quite problematic for some issues such as girls' education, where today's situation is certainly not the same as 10-15 years ago. If the course were updated, it would be an outstanding course!

2. As stated in other comments, it is unfortunate that the time allocation for reading materials is not accurate on the platform. Each document is estimated to be a 10-minute reading, but it takes much more time to go through all the materials and lengthy reports provided each week. So, be prepared to set aside more time than what each module indicates.

A great course on international law on women. I love that they cover a wide-ranged topic, from education, violence, economy for women and so on. It's very organized and although I must admit I'm not used to reading so much materials, this course really helped me see through my own experiences and to what happens around the world. Thank you Stanford University, thank you Anne Murray and other people that had worked for this. Truly opened my eyes.

The course was very good in creating awareness and educating regarding gender issues, women's health. Also, it helped to create a context for learning further on various sub-topics. The only downside was that the readings took much longer than the suggested times, despite being a proficient reader in English. I would appreciate it if this aspect would be reviewed.

Dr. Anne was splendid, as is her book FOTC!

A really informative course, with lots of interesting and engaging content. I liked the community nature of the course, which allowed me to review and comment on other students work. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to know more about women's health and issues in different countries, and for people who want to think academically about their own country's issues.

Personally, taking this course has been a worthwhile. I have learnt a lot and acquired good knowledge and understanding on issues that affect women's health. What I find special about this course is the approach of analyzing these issues from a human rights perspective. This reinforces the fact that women rights = human rights. Great learning experience.

Very interesting course that should be a part of everyone's high school or university curriculum!

A lot of self reading. As this is an online course, it would be great to add more video content with more expert interviews or more visual presentations with key facts and data, instead of putting up a list of books to read.

Great expert's lectures or interview, reports etc. added now into my list of knowledge seating in a home.

Very informative course which discusses a huge chunk of issues surrounding women, especially violation of human rights which exacerbates girl and women vulnerability. The strategies in mitigating issues of VAW are worth practicing in the field of public health and HIV and AIDS prevention programs.

Covers the basic foundations of Women's Health and Human Rights. The speakers and guest lecturers are truly qualified and diverse. Pegged down one star as the online community link doesn't work.
