Human Rights at the Margins: HIV/AIDS, Prisoners, Drug Users and the Law
| Location: | Bangkok, Thailand |
| Event Date: | July 9, 2004 |
In many regions of the world, both prison settings and injecting drug use raise critical and often over-looked legal and policy issues in relation to HIV/AIDS. "Human Rights at the Margins: HIV/AIDS, Prisoners, Drug Users and the Law" will give participants from both developing and developed countries a unique opportunity to discuss and collaborate on these important issues in substantial depth.
The satellite conference will be held two days prior to the opening of the XV International AIDS Conference in Bangkok. Co-hosted by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the one-day satellite meeting is sponsored by OSI’s International Harm Reduction Development Program, the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network, the Lawyers Collective HIV/AIDS Unit (India), and the Thai Network of Drug Users.
Those interested in attending are urged to register early because space is limited. Scholarships for travel or accommodation will not be provided; however, the registration fee of US$75 (Can$100 for Canadian registrants) can be waived, on request, for people with HIV/AIDS and for participants from developing countries.
