Lu Jun
Co-Founder & Legal Representative,
Beijing Yirenping Center


Earlier this year, the Chinese government unveiled a series of regulations prohibiting discriminations against Hepatitis B (HBV) patients at work places and schools. The civil society organizations in China played an important role in bringing about such policy changes and eliminating social and policy discriminations against people with certain diseases. Lu Jun is going to share his journey at the Yirenping Center in defending individual’s rights and pushing for policy changes. http://www.yirenping.org/

The study group will examine the role and operation of the Yirenping in doing so from the nonprofit perspective. Students will have opportunities to interact with the social entrepreneur speaker, and help solving some strategic questions for the organization that the speaker is going to discuss about.
