Submission To Commission On Narcotic Drugs High Level Ministerial Segment 2019

Prepared by WHRIN for the 62nd session of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs and its High Level Ministerial Segment.  With this opportunity for UN Member States to take stock of progress achieved over the past ten years, WHRIN asks governments to ensure that the resulting Ministerial Declaration includes a thorough ‘stocktake’ of the effects of drug control measures on the lives of women, with strident language to uphold and protect the human rights of women who use drugs and those involved in the drug trade. WHRIN offer this report to contribute to a responsible forward moving outcome.
