Using strategic litigation as an advocacy tool to improve adolescent access to Sexual Reproductive Health Services and Rights
2021-12-09 09:00 - 12:30 | Gauteng
Many problems affecting adolescent access to SRH services, information and rights are due to the state of the law; either the absence of laws enabling access or where laws exist, ineffective or absent implementation due to lack of knowledge or understanding of the law and also legal barriers to access like the imposition of criminal sanctions on adolescents and unclear age of consent laws.
Join us for an informative session facilitated by the Southern Africa Litigation Centre to explore how lawyers can utilise strategic litigation as a tool for advocacy in improving the legal environment affecting adolescent SRHR.
