The Global Coalition on Women and AIDS (GCWA), the International Network of Women who Use Drugs (INWUD), and the Women’s Harm Reduction International Network (WHRIN) are pleased to present this brief regarding women who use drugs on HIV, harm reduction and sexual and reproductive health and rights – “Women who use drugs, harm reduction and HIV.”

It is hoped through this issue brief to bring attention to policies, laws and practices that undermine the rights of women who use drugs, and to promote the realisation of their human rights in terms of an effective harm reduction response to HIV.
