Regional legal reference resource: protective laws related to HIV, men who have sex with men and transgender people in South Asia

This document was produced by the South Asian Roundtable on Legal and Policy Barriers to HIV held in Kathmandu in November 2011. It documents key protective laws focused on HIV, MSM and transgender people in five South Asian countries. The main objectives of this Reference Resource are to build the capacity of legal professionals to analyse protective laws (focusing on PLHIV, MSM and transgender people) and to develop a resource to support legislative drafting, law reform and advocacy initiatives.
