Résumé :
In the European Union 34.8 million women aged 15 to 64 are reported to have ever tried an illicit drug, compared with 54.3 million men. Women who use drugs face a number of issues that vary in extent and nature compared with those experienced by their male counterparts. They have greater experiences of stigma, shame and discriminatory responses; have less social support; are more influenced in issues relating to drug use and recovery by their parental role and through their partners; and are at a greater risk of exposure to violence and blood-borne infections. In general, responses for women should be gender responsive, incorporating women’s needs in all aspects of their design and delivery; be delivered in environments that are welcoming, non-judgemental, supporting and physically and emotionally safe; be holistic and comprehensive; promote healthy connections to children, family members, significant others and the community; and address socioeconomic conditions. There are also subgroups of women with additional issues and needs that need to be considered.
