On Tuesday October 29th, the BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS Forefront Lecture Series is pleased to present a lecture by Dr. Lisa Maher titled “Prevention as punishment: Impact of legislative change and policy changes designed to prevent human trafficking and sexual exploitation on female sex workers in Phnom Penh, Cambodia”.
Dr. Maher is a Program Head at the Kirby Institute for Infection and Immunity, NHMRC Senior Research Fellow, and Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of New South Wales. Her research focuses on the prevention of infectious disease in vulnerable populations, including people who inject drugs and female sex workers. She has expertise in both ethnographic and epidemiological methods and approaches and, more recently, prevention trials. Professor Maher has worked extensively in North America, Asia, Australia and the Pacific.
The talk will take place at 12pm in the Large Lecture Theatre (SPH 1477) at St. Paul’s Hospital.
A light lunch and refreshments will be served. We hope you can join us.
