Up Coming - Law Week 2013

Description of Upcoming Event:

‘Tatts by Hand’

‘Tatts by Hand’ is 1.5 to 2 hour workshop on the application of anti-discrimination laws to body art.

As the popularity of body art – such as tattoos and piercings – grows in our society, issues of discrimination can arise in the context of employment, education and the provision of goods and services. Subsequently, this workshop aims to educate individuals on their rights and responsibilities under Australian anti-discrimination laws and the effect of these laws on body art.
