You are cordially invited to attend a conference on International Human Rights Day (December 10^th) at the Habitat Centre in New Delhi, India to discuss the legal and policy responses to gender-biased sex selection in India and the United States. Acting Chief Judge of the Delhi High Court, Hon. Justice Mittal, will be releasing my book, Women’s Human Rights and Migration: Sex-Selective Abortion Laws in the United States and India. Fifteen renowned gender rights experts from India and the United States – including a contributor to his blog, Aparna Chandra – will be speaking. Colin Gonsalves, one of the most preeminent public interest litigators in India, will deliver a lecture on the Indian Supreme Court’s jurisprudence on women’s rights. The conference is hosted by Jindal Global Law School and Cornell Law School.
