In July 2012, the Center for Reproductive Rights will reach the next milestone in its ongoing South Asia Reproductive Justice and Accountability Initiative when it hosts the first South Asia Reproductive Rights Case Development Workshop. The workshop will bring together lawyers from India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka to learn about international and comparative law in reproductive rights, to share experiences and lessons learned through litigation, to develop new litigation initiatives, and much more.
The Initiative will build a network of lawyers in South Asia who will advance women’s reproductive rights through litigation, with a focus on access to contraception and to safe abortion.

Those interested should send the application no later than February 29, 2012. Organizers of the workshop will cover all expenses for attendees.
