Objective

WHO observed that the social fallout from COVID-19 hits women even harder (economic insecurity, single parenthood, violence, barriers to accessing services, etc.). Factoring gender into efforts to improve addiction-related services in the context of a pandemic is therefore paramount.

Findings/Key points

The project ultimately aims to develop guidelines for improving addiction-related services in a pandemic context, taking into account the health and social, gender identity and sexual orientation needs of individuals in situations of social precarity.
