In the face of funding cuts & the growing attack on the rights of women & key populations, govs must act. Stop criminalizing PWUD.Stop wasting money on prisons.Invest in health, evidence-based, human rights responses that meet women's needs & respect their dignity. @frontlineaids.bsky.social #CND68
We must stop wasting money putting people who use drugs in prison. It’s time to invest in health-based solutions and respect the humanity of women who use drugs. #Decriminalize #DrugPolicy #CND68 @frontlineaids.bsky.social
Women who use drugs face compounded stigma, being labeled as irresponsible and immature. We need to prioritize their autonomy and decision-making. #EndStigma #HarmReduction #CND68 #YouthRISE
Decriminalization alone isn’t enough. It’s just the start of a broader transformation to address stigma, institutional barriers, and the lack of tailored services for women who use drugs. #YouthVoices #DrugPolicy #CND68 #YouthRISE
2/2 Check out #SANPUD_NPO pregnancy & substance use toolkit. This is a key tool to help health professionals support women who use drugs, promoting safer practices and better care. #HarmReduction #Toolkit #CND68
1/2 The only way to ensure meaningful change is through peer-driven programs with flexible funding. Peer involvement is the backbone of harm reduction services, and we must invest in these communities to create lasting impact. #Peer #HarmReduction #CND68
Unfortunately, we face challenges that threaten our work. The termination of grants from the USA and Europe endangers life-saving harm reduction services. We cannot let this jeopardize the future of people who rely on these essential services. #CND68 #HarmReduction #FundHarmReduction
As part of #FemAlive, we remind each other that regardless of who you are or what you do, you are worthy of love and respect. The #FemAlive march was a beautiful expression of that solidarity. #CND68 #SANPUD_NPO
The criminalization of women in Pakistan’s drug trade is a tragic consequence of a system that fails to account for coercion, poverty, and stigma. We need systemic change and justice for those who have been marginalized. #CND68 @justiceproject.bsky.social
Women in Pakistan face severe challenges within the justice system, from harsh sentencing to a lack of gender-sensitive healthcare and rehabilitation. It’s time for the state to implement reforms that protect women’s rights and dignity. #PrisonReform #CND68 @justiceproject.bsky.social
