The meeting involved presentations from academics, panel discussions and group information sharing and discussion. Individuals and communities at risk of human rights violations, including prejudice, stigma, and discrimination, were also among the resource persons. The meeting discussions and presentations were intended to contribute towards developing an understanding for considering if, when, and under what conditions, recourse to criminal law is compatible with human rights, how to approach these issues, and where LGBTI movements should invest their time and energy. It was facilitated by Felicita Hikuam, Director, AIDS and Rights Alliance for Southern Africa (ARASA) and Melanie Judge, Senior Advisor, LGBTI Inclusion, Africa, UNDP.
