As the world reflects on 30 years since the Beijing Platform for Action, women's health and rights remain under threat - especially where punitive drug policies intersect with systemic inequality. This high-level side event will spotlight how discriminatory drug laws harm women's health, fuel incarceration, and deepen inequality - and how gender-responsive, rights-based reforms can drive progress on the Sustainable Development Goals and Beijing+30 commitments.
