Women bear hidden burden of punitive drug policies, UN says
Original: Women, girls bear distinct and hidden burden under punitive drug policies
The UN human rights office reports that women and girls suffer distinct and largely hidden harms under punitive drug policies. The organisation is highlighting how harsh drug enforcement disproportionately affects women, including through caregiving burdens, incarceration and barriers to health services, and is calling for gender-sensitive, rights-based approaches to drug policy worldwide.
Why now: The UN human rights office has just published this warning, drawing attention to an overlooked impact of drug policy.
