SUMMARY:Overcoming Stigma and Violence Against Incarcerated and Drug-using Women
DESCRIPTION:Overcoming Stigma and Violence against Incarcerated and Drug-using Women \nOrganised by Dianova International\, the International Drug Policy Consortium (IDPC)\, the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) and the Women and Harm Reduction International Network (WHRIN) \nWomen who use drugs\, and women incarcerated and formerly incarcerated for drug offences\, face high levels of stigma\, discrimination and violence\, as they are seen as defying their assigned roles in society as mothers and caregivers. Women who use drugs face daunting barriers in accessing harm reduction and treatment services\, and gender-sensitive programmes remain an exception rather than the norm. As a result\, they are at higher risk of contracting HIV and hepatitis C\, especially while incarcerated. Formerly incarcerated women face significant obstacles in rebuilding their lives. From the time of their arrest until their release\, women’s – especially trans women’s – journey through the criminal legal system is marked by experiences of systemic violence\, discrimination and trauma. This side event will discuss the most pressing issues faced by women who use drugs and incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women\, with accounts of lived experiences from the USA and Mexico. \nSpeakers: \n\nMary Chinery-Hesse\, West Africa Commission on Drugs\, IDPC representative in Ghana & Former Deputy-General of the International Labour Organisation – Opening remarks\nRuth Birgin\, Women and Harm Reduction International Network\nGisela Hansen Rodríguez\, Dianova International\nAndrea James\, National Council for Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls\nKenya Cuevas\, Casa de las Muñecas Tiresias A.C. & Casa Hogar “Paola Buenrostro”\n\nModerator: Marie Nougier\, International Drug Policy Consortium \nJoin the conversation on Twitter using the hashtags: #EndTheStigmaCSW65 #EndTheViolenceCSW65 #EndTheStigma #EndTheViolence \n_____________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: For more information on the New York NGO Committee on Drugs\, please visit nyngoc.org.

SUMMARY:Addressing GBV: A Key Element in Gender-Sensitive Addiction Treatment Programs
DESCRIPTION:Addressing GBV: a Key Element in Gender-Sensitive Addiction Treatment Programs \nFree online event in English – Monday\, 22 March 2021\, 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. EST (NY time)\, 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. CET (España) \nWomen with substance use disorders face many obstacles in accessing and engaging in addiction treatment programs. Considering that gender-based violence is an initiating or aggravating factor of substance use disorder\, it is imperative to address this complex relation in a holistic manner. Within male-dominated environments\, where gender aspects are frequently overlooked\, women who experience GBV and substance use disorders find it difficult to address this problem effectively. This parallel event will explore the links between GBV and substance use disorders and will shed light on how gender-sensitive programs address GBV as a key element in the therapeutic process. \nPre-registration is mandatory. For registration instructions\, click here. \nModerator: Maria Victoria Espada – Representative to the United Nations\, Dianova International \nSpeakers: \n\nLois A. Herman – Managing Director\, Women’s UN Report Network (WUNRN)\nGisela Hansen Rodríguez\, Ph.D. – Clinical and Health Psychologist\, Dianova\nEdward C. Carlson\, MA\, M.F.T. – Chief Executive Officer\, Odyssey House Louisiana\, Inc.\nNazlee Maghsoudi\, BComm\, MGA – Chairperson\, Executive Committee\, New York NGO Committee on Drugs (NYNGOC)\n\n_____________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: For more information on the NGO Committee on Drugs-NY\, please visit nyngoc.org.
