Drug use as we mature
6 April 2023
WHRIN have released this position statement on issues facing women and gender diverse people who use drugs as we mature, to coincide with Zero Discrimination Day March 1, which is a day for people to speak up about discrimination and movement for change. Events and initiatives focus on the rights of people living with HIV, the LGBTQ+ community, people who use drugs and more. Notably, the theme for 2023 is “Save lives: Decriminalise”, a critical reform imperative echoed in this statement. We add our voices to the cry, highlighting the needs of women and gender diverse people who use drugs as we mature.
