About
The session collectively addresses the complex interplay of substance use, stigma, and gender within marginalized communities, highlighting how these factors influence health outcomes and service accessibility. Presentations will explore the life experiences of street-involved women who use drugs in Porto, the emotional and public health implications associated with Chemsex, and systemic barriers within addiction services that fail to adequately support women and individuals with diverse sexual identities.
