Regional Legal Reference Resource: Protective Laws Related to HIV, Men who have Sex with Men and Transgender People in South Asia

This Regional Legal Reference Resource - Protective Laws related to HIV, MSM and Transgender People in South Asia (Reference Resource) is an output of the South Asian Roundtable on Legal and Policy Barriers to HIV held in Kathmandu in November 2011 (South Asian Roundtable).

This Reference Resource documents key protective laws focused on HIV, men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender people in five countries in South Asia. The two primary objectives of the Reference Resource are to:
1. build the capacity of legal professionals to analyze protective laws (focusing on people living with HIV, MSM and transgender people); and
2. develop a resource to support legislative drafting, law reform and advocacy initiatives.
