Drug policy affects the health of queer people and communities. The health of queer people who use drugs must not be overlooked in our fight for sensible drug policy. And 2SLGBTQ+ rights organizations must not ignore the rights and health of queer people who use drugs.
Our new resources aim to raise awareness and build these connections — and, ultimately, to protect people’s health and save lives.
Read our new Summary Report, which reviews the evidence about substance use — including problematic use — among GBT2Q people and includes insights from queer people working in the field of harm reduction.
Check out our Agenda for Action, which presents nearly 30 recommendations for action in multiple areas. including: improving data collection; challenging stigma through public education; making services more accessible; ensuring 2SLGBTQ+ communities are more inclusive and strengthen their advocacy for sensible drug policy; enhancing funding for the health of GBT2Q people who use drugs; and enacting key legal and policy reforms.
