'Consequentially the growing role of the EU in health policy is a ‘silent revolution’, expanding almost unnoticeably, despite limited legislative basis. In this thesis the increasing power for the EU with respect to health is questioned because health policy can have an important impact on fundamental rights. The relationship between health policy and fundamental rights is important as it is reciprocal and intrinsically connected. On the one hand health policy can impact fundamental rights and on the other hand breaches of fundamental rights can impact health. For instance if someone is tortured, this impacts the right not to be tortured but it usually also has enormous impact on physical and mental health. The other way around, for instance if the government orders quarantines because of a communicable disease, than this is a matter of health policy, but it also impacts the right to freedom and inviolability of the human body. Because of the reciprocal relationship between health policy and fundamental rights the choice was made for in this thesis to use fundamental rights as a legal ‘benchmark’ to analyze the legitimacy of EU health policy. The central question of the thesis is: What are the implications of the expansion of EU power in the field of human health in terms of its impact on fundamental rights?'

There are labour laws pertinent to health issues of garment workers in Bangladesh. Because of the lack of implementation and/or violation of the laws, workers often suffer from health hazards both at work and at home. The problem is compounded by the fact that workers are unaware of many of the laws and the benefits they are entitled to because of lack of education and resources. The Bangladesh government, garment employers and different international and national NGOs have important roles to play in reducing the health hazards of workers. Author discusses different types of illnesses and through narratives of women garment workers explores health hazards experienced by them. It also suggests solutions for policy-makers, NGO activists, employers and workers.
