The needs of women who inject drugs have largely been ignored by existing programmes and policies in Indonesia. The Indonesian Drug Users Network supported the implementation of the Perempuan Bersuara study to explore health needs, sexual and injecting risk behaviours, gender-based violence, contact with law enforcement, and harm reduction service accessibility among more than 700 women who inject drugs across multiple sites in West Java, Greater Jakarta, and Banten province.

As people who use and inject drugs and direct beneficiaries of Indonesia’s harm reduction and HIV response, we feel that the complex needs of women in our community have been neglected for far too long. There is an urgent need to develop gender-sensitive, low-threshold programmes and evidence-based drug policies that accommodate and respond to the specific needs of this group.

Indonesia: voces de mujeres que se inyectan drogas

La Red Indonesia de Usuarios de Drogas (IDUN) y Drug Reporter han producido un breve documental sobre las consecuencias negativas que está teniendo la renovada guerra contra las drogas entre la población indonesia, y en especial entre los grupos más vulnerables. Más información, en inglés, está disponible abajo.

In early 2015, the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, stated that Indonesia was in a state of emergency due to rampant drug use and declared a renewed ‘war on drugs’. In practice, this led to increased funding for law enforcement and a series of punitive measures that have exacerbated the problem instead of addressing it.

PKNI and Drugreporter now launch their new documentary film in 4 cities across Indonesia ahead of World AIDS Day 2015.

The short documentary film Dying a Slow Death: Inside Indonesia's Drug War, produced by the Indonesian Drug Users Network (PKNI) and the Drugreporter, documents the first-hand impacts of the drug war as experienced by the community itself. The documentary features testimony and interviews with people who use drugs, methadone patients, academics and religious leaders, and was filmed and conceived by local drug user community activists. Beginning with the execution of 14 drug traffickers earlier this year, the film details how Indonesia is sliding toward compulsory drug treatment, increased extortion and bribery, while creating more barriers to access of health and support services.

Watch and share the film to end the war on drugs in Indonesia!

PKNI has launched its first issue brief on the urgent need for access to prevention, treatment and Hepatitis C treatment for people who inject drugs in Indonesia.

The briefing maps the hepatitis C situation among our community and the national response to hepatitis C in Indonesia. Indonesia has one of the highest rates of viral hepatitis in Southeast Asia, with an estimated 7 million people infected with the hepatitis C virus. Of the estimated 105,784 people who inject drugs in Indonesia, more than two-thirds have HCV -- a rate that now far exceeds levels of HIV infection among our community.

Although there is no vaccine for hepatitis C, transmission is preventable, and infection is treatable and curable. Unfortunately, prices for supporting diagnostic tests and for antiviral treatment remain far out of reach of the most vulnerable and affected communities of drug users.

To ensure that prevention, treatment, and care services and appropriately targeted, the meaningful involvement of people who use drugs role in designing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating the program is crucial.
