Implementing a gender approach in drug policies: prevention, treatment and criminal justice
A handbook for practitioners and decision makers
Collectif
Council of Europe
Livre numérique
Integrating gender into all aspects of drug policy, including the criminal
justice system.In its efforts to place human rights at the heart of drug
policies, the Pompidou Group has decided to pursue further the work already
undertaken towards integrating a gender dimension into drug policy by
developing a handbook covering different drug policy areas.
It seeks to promote gender sensitivity in drug responses as essential leverage
to reduce health inequities and to respect human rights, especially the rights
to diversity and dignity for women, men and non-binary people.The publication
begins with an overview of epidemiological evidence on gender-based
differences in drug use and related consequences.The handbook aims at
providing policy makers and practitioners in the drug field with evidence-
based and operational recommendations to develop and implement policies and
interventions that better integrate specific gender needs (gender-sensitive
approach) and support more gender equity (gender-transformative approach) for
people concerned with the provision of drug-related prevention and care (risk
and harm reduction, treatment, reintegration), including in the criminal
justice system.
Faithful to the Pompidou Group’s objective of ensuring a link between
research, policy and practice, this handbook first explores theoretical views
about gender and drug policy, draws on available scientific knowledge and
presents recommendations and examples for practice. It is based on extensive
debate and a consensus of experts from 13 countries and various professional
backgrounds, for cross-cultural relevance.
