Event Description : India HIV/AIDS Alliance presents Public Hearing of Violence and Discrimination Cases against Sexual Minorities since Section 377 Verdict in 2013.

To mark the anniversary of Section 377 judgement a public hearing is being organised to discuss the consequences of the ruling and review cases of violence and discrimination that have taken place since the Supreme Court ruling in 2013. Over the past year, this ruling has increased the vulnerability of gender and sexual minorities to violence, stigma and discrimination and has adversely affected the uptake of health services. We must not return to the days when too many vulnerable men who have sex with men (MSM), transgenders and hijras were driven further underground for fear of exposure, extortion and physical harm.

This national discussion will affirm the principle that members of this community are lawful citizens and their fundamental human rights — including civil, political, social, economic and cultural — need to be protected and guaranteed.
