The launch will commence with a lunch followed by a moderated panel discussion, and a Q & A, with a group of distinguished panellists.
Jody Kollapen of the Human Rights Commission will chair the discussion.
Panelists include - Carmel Rickard, the author. Belinda Beresford OSF media fellow, Theresa Rossouw from the Health Sciences Faculty - UP, Joe Ngelanga from The Justice College.
Balancing Acts explores the tension between public health and human rights through the lens of some vexing challenges in the South African HIV/AIDS epidemic such as TB, HIV testing uptake and sexual violence. Asking whether a focus on human rights is appropriate or an impediment in the light of our desperateness to find quick solutions, Balancing Acts also questions the role of the legal system in promoting access to rights.
