Decriminalising Poverty and Status: South Asia Convening

As members of the Campaign to Decriminalise Poverty and Status, the Neelan Tiruchelvam Trust and the International Legal Foundation (ILF) will bring together actors in South Asia, primarily, civil society activists, organisations and legal practitioners, for the first regional convening on Decriminalising Poverty and Status in South Asia in Colombo, Sri Lanka, from 24- 25 January 2025.

The goal of this convening is to bring together organisations and activists leading efforts to decriminalise poverty, status, and/ or activism in their communities, to understand the scope of the problem, discuss common challenges, successes, and good practices, foster collaboration, and brainstorm effective strategies to combat discrimination and injustices in criminal justice systems across South Asia.
