Abstract: This handbook provides 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 principle of the Pompidou Group in ensuring a link between research, policy and practice and a focus on human rights, 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.
Description: Under the overall supervision of Florence Mabileau, Pompidou Group, Council of Europe, this handbook was written by Carine Mutatayi, Sarah Morton, Kristín I. Pálsdóttir, Nadia Robles Soto and Cristiana Vale Pires, with input from Marilyn Clark, Bidisha Chatterjee Marie-Claire Van Hout, Vic Valentine, Maria Sfikaki, Monica Barzanti, Liljana lgnjatova and Mirjana Jovanic.
