Litigation is becoming an increasingly attractive advocacy tool for human rights movements around the world. It has served as an effective strategy not only for reforming or enforcing laws that deny or protect basic human rights, but also for raising awareness of and mobilizing support for human rights issues. In this article, which is based on a presentation at a symposium session at the conference, Luisa Cabal focuses on a specific area within the realm of women's health and rights--the rights of HIV-positive women and girls, and in particular, violations they experience vis-à-vis access to health care--and discusses the potential for litigation to help raise awareness and advance efforts to protect and promote human rights in this area.
诉讼正日益成为世界各地人权运动颇具吸引力的一种宣传工具。它不仅是改革或执行剥夺或保护基本人权的法律的有效策略，也是提高对人权问题的认识并动员各方支持人权问题的有效策略。在这篇基于会议研讨会发言的文章中，路易莎·卡巴尔聚焦于妇女健康与权利领域内的一个特定方面——艾滋病毒呈阳性的妇女和女孩的权利，尤其是她们在获得医疗保健方面所遭受的侵犯——并探讨了诉讼在帮助提高认识以及推动保护和促进该领域人权方面的潜力。
