Health Law Workshop: Naina Kapur

The presentation will explore what public interest means when it comes to representing a right to dignity and equality at work and what it means when it comes to upholding that right in practice at the Indian workplace.

The case of Vishaka v. State of Rajasthan provided a landmark basis for promoting "healthy workplaces" yet despite this, how receptive is the public interest to a "healthy workplace" beyond sick leave. Who does it threaten and who does it enable?  The case is easily available on line (Vishaka v. State of Rajasthan -  http://www.elaw.org/resources/text.asp?id=1831) 

 A light lunch will be served.

Jointly sponsored by the Faculty of Law and

the Department of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation

University of Toronto.
