Unlike\u00a0most\u00a0other OAS GAs, there was no\u00a0central theme for the\u00a0this gathering and\u00a0so many\u00a0issues were open for discussion.\u00a0\u00a0The Legal Network\u00a0therefore collaborated with other civil society organizations working on\u00a0similar issues, including\u00a0LGBTI human rights,\u00a0sex\u00a0worker rights, drug use decriminalization, and the decriminalization of over-broad HIV\u00a0non-disclosure, in order to\u00a0ensure\u00a0that these topics were considered by the 35 nations present.\u00a0In particular, the Legal Network\u00a0worked\u00a0with the Sexual and Reproductive Rights coalition and the LESBIANS, GAYS, BISEXUALS, TRAVESTIS, TRANSEXUALS, TRANSGENDER AND INTERSEX (LGBTTTI) Coalition to draft separate\u00a0submissions\u00a0for the dialogue of CSO representatives and other actors with heads of delegation, the Secretary General, and the Assistant Secretary General. This dialogue took place on the opening day of the GA and guided the deliberations\u00a0of the assembly. The submissions were also the basis of intense lobbying over the\u00a0three-day GA and contributed to the successful adoption of the 10th annual resolution on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression.<\/p>\n<p class=\"download-link-button\"><a class=\"download-link en\" title=\"SRR-Coalition-Final-Statement-_OAS48.pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/download\/16959\/?tmstv=1776735356\" rel=\"nofollow\">\r\n\tDownload<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"download-link-button\"><a class=\"download-link en\" title=\"Dialogue-of-the-Heads-of-Delegation_LGBTTTI-coalition.pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/download\/16961\/?tmstv=1776735356\" rel=\"nofollow\">\r\n\tDownload<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"publication_topics":[153,148,160],"publication_type":[170],"publication_language":[184],"class_list":["post-16958","publication22","type-publication22","status-publish","hentry","publication_topics-lgbtq-rights","publication_topics-criminalization","publication_topics-the-caribbean","publication_type-advocacy","publication_language-english"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication22\/16958","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication22"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publication22"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication22\/16958\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16965,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication22\/16958\/revisions\/16965"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"publication_topics","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication_topics?post=16958"},{"taxonomy":"publication_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication_type?post=16958"},{"taxonomy":"publication_language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication_language?post=16958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
