“…In accord to this opinion, Wilson (2005) also pointed out that the right based approach promotes justice, equality, freedom and tackles the power issues that lie at the root of poverty and exploitation. Mealan (2009) argues that the right based approach deals with identity politics used to refer to a geo-cultural category, presupposing a world collectively of 'indigenous people' in contrast to their various others. The rights-based approach is founded on the conviction that each and every human being by virtue of being human is a holder of rights.…”

Men from rural and remote areas in Australia might face particular challenges in seeking support following treatment for prostate cancer. These challenges appear to relate to the influence of stoic attitudes and normative expectations, than to issues of access and availability.
