Columbia Law School held a workshop on the legal and policy needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) and HIV-affected immigrants on April 22, 2014. As part of this workshop, CHLP's Legal Director, Ivan Espinoza-Madrigal, discussed detention conditions in immigration facilities focusing on access to medical care for transgender and HIV-affected immigrants.
The Center for HIV Law and Policy challenges barriers to the rights and health of people affected by HIV through legal advocacy, high-impact policy initiatives, and creation of cross-issue partnerships, networks, and resources. We support movement building that amplifies the power of individuals and communities to mobilize for change that is rooted in racial, gender, and economic justice.
