L’objectif
This paper presents a case study of a group of women about whom we know little about and hear even less from: women who inject drugs in relatively affluent suburbs.
Constatations/points à retenir
Even when women occupy the ‘ideal’ social position in terms of class (middle-class) and race (White) they remain subject to harmful forms of gendered stigma related to injecting drug use. Participants had internalised negative attitudes around injection drug use as a form of failed femininity and, despite being part of ‘good’ families and neighbourhoods, participants experienced forced child removal.
