Major 9: Women’s Empowerment
Daria Matyushina-Ocheret: Advocacy for the Parental Rights of Women Who Use Drugs.
«Употребляешь наркотики - не смей рожать и воспитывать детей!» - это жестокое послание через систему социального обеспечения и здравоохранения посылает государства каждой женщине, употребляющей наркотики. Даша Матюшина, соратница и эксперт #EAСВ и советница #UNAIDS, обобщила для участников и участниц #HR19 основные результаты исследования нарушения репродуктивных прав женщин, употребляющих наркотики а Эстонии, Российской Федерации и в восточных областях Украины. Уязвимость женщин начинается с беременности, очень сильная сразу после родов, в момент развода. И даже вызов полиции в случае домашнего насилия в отношении женщины может привести к потере права опеки над своими детьми. Замкнутый круг, но активистки не сдаются, объединяясь в движение #наркофеминизм, давая надежду женщинам в странах.
