This Reference Resource documents key protective laws focused on HIV, men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender people in five countries in South Asia.

The two primary objectives of the Reference Resource are to:

1. build the capacity of legal professionals to analyze protective laws (focusing on people living with HIV, MSM and transgender people); and
2. develop a resource to support legislative drafting, law reform and advocacy initiatives.
