Conferencia Internacional sobre la Reforma de las Políticas de Drogas 2025

EVAWUD es una campaña global que se celebra durante los 16 Días de Activismo (del 25 de noviembre al 10 de diciembre), y que exige el fin de la violencia contra las mujeres y las personas de género diverso que usan drogas, mediante políticas de drogas basadas en los derechos humanos, con perspectiva de género y orientadas a la reducción de daños.

Eliminate Violence Against Women and Gender Diverse People Who Use Drugs

Women and Harm Reduction International Network (WHRIN)

 and partner organisations. It takes place each year during the 

16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence

The campaign shines a spotlight on the extreme and widespread violence experienced by women and gender diverse people who use drugs, and on the urgent need for 

drug policies grounded in human rights, gender equality, and harm reduction

EVAWUD exposes how patriarchal norms and punitive drug laws intersect to produce gendered violence and exclusion. Women and gender diverse people who use drugs face violence at up to 25 times the rate of women in the general population — including extra-judicial killings, forced sterilisation and abortion, sexual and physical violence, loss of child custody, imprisonment for personal drug use, and denial of essential health and social services.

The campaign centres the leadership of women and gender diverse people who use drugs, highlighting 

peer-led responses and community-based initiatives

 that provide effective, rights-based solutions. EVAWUD advocates for:

integration of sexual and reproductive health and GBV services

 of women and gender diverse people who use drugs in shaping policy and services;

 of all drug use and possession, to reduce stigma, violence, and state abuse linked to the “war on drugs”.

Through coordinated global actions, storytelling, and advocacy during the 16 Days of Activism, EVAWUD challenges systemic violence and affirms the right of women and gender diverse people who use drugs to live with
