Reports of the forced sterilization of pregnant HIV-positive women first surfaced in 2008. In this article, which is based on an oral abstract presentation at AIDS 2010, Linda Dumba outlines the litigation work that her organization, the Legal Assistance Centre, has done on behalf of 16 HIV-positive women sterilized without their informed consent.
