*The Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network presents:*



*3rd Symposium on HIV, Law and Human Rights: *

*“Litigating for Change”*

*http://www.aidslaw.ca/symposium *

*June 9-10, 2011 in Toronto*





*Featuring a Public Lecture by Professor Alan Young, Counsel in the Ontario
case Bedford vs. Canada, *a constitutional challenge of prostitution-related
provisions in Canada’s Criminal Code**



*EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE UNTIL APRIL 11TH.  *



June marks the 30th anniversary of the first reports by the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control of what eventually came to be known as AIDS.  Though we know
a great deal about what is needed to prevent the further spread of the
virus, to ensure adequate care and treatment for people with HIV and to
mitigate the social and economic impact of the epidemic, still too often
such evidence and experience do not translate into sound public policy.



Join us in June to learn more about how to shape public policy through sound
evidence, human rights principles and litigation as a strategy to defend and
promote human rights.



Symposium topics include:



   - The role of litigation in addressing issues related to human rights and
   HIV in Canada
   - Criminal prosecution of HIV non-disclosure cases
   - Constitutional challenges to Canada’s prostitution laws
   - Application of Canadian drug laws to supervised injection
   sites
   - Health policy issues in the media, and the use of social media tools
   for community engagement in law reform and public policy debates.



*REGISTER TODAY AT**  www.aidslaw.ca/symposium.*
