Technical report: Gender and empowerment of women in drug policies
At the first High Level Meeting of the EU-CELAC Coordination and Cooperation Mechanism on drugs, held on the 16th and 17th June 2016 in The Hague, several countries requested COPOLAD to work on a report in order to review how a gender approach focusing on the empowerment on women, could be introduced in all areas of drug related policies, as well as other evidence-based aspects to be considered in policy-making.
The purpose of the report is to present in a solid and updated way - considering the situation and the available evidence - how to mainstream, comprehensively, the gender perspective in all areas that make up drug policies (prevention, treatment, harm reduction, rehabilitation, social and work insertion, etc.), as well as to supply control (judicial and penal system, money laundering, alternative development and illicit crops, etc.), not to mention the relevant supranational and international cooperation fields. In summary, the report would respond to the question: What is the cross-cutting consideration of the gender and empowerment of women in drug policies?
COPOLAD is working on this report and hopes it will be of great use and interest for countries.
