Women and girls bear hidden burden of punitive drug policies
Original: Women, girls bear distinct and hidden burden under punitive drug policies
The UN human rights office says women and girls suffer distinct and often hidden harm from punitive drug policies worldwide. It highlights how criminalisation and harsh enforcement disproportionately affect women, including through caregiving burdens, imprisonment, and barriers to health services. The office is calling for gender-sensitive, rights-based approaches to drug policy.
Why now: The UN human rights office has just raised attention to how drug policy enforcement harms women and girls specifically.
