Several international experts will meet in Montevideo from June 20 to 23, 2023 to exchange experiences on care practices for people with drug-related problems, especially women and vulnerable populations, as well as social inclusion programs. The seminar, held within the framework of the COPOLAD international cooperation program, is expected to promote the incorporation of a rights-based approach and comprehensive care in the approach to problematic drug use in national and local responses to drug use.
COPOLAD III is an international cooperation program that promotes technical dialogue and bi-regional cooperation between the European Union and Latin American and Caribbean countries on drug policies. Funded by the European Union, the program is led by the Fundación Internacional Iberoamericana de Políticas y Administraciones Públicas (FIIAPP) in consortium with the International Italo-Latin American Organization (IILA), in collaboration with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ) and the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (future European drugs agency).
In order to contribute to improving the capacity of Latin American and Caribbean countries to implement rights-based and inclusive drug policies on drug use and reduce the associated stigma, COPOLAD III joins forces with countries that are leading the way in this field, Uruguay, Chile and Barbados, with partner entities of the program, the National Plan on Drugs of Spain, with the collaboration of RIOD (Ibero-American Network of Non-Governmental Organizations working on Drugs and Addictions) and UNAD (Network of Attention to Addictions) to carry out this regional workshop, with differential and gender perspectives and with a focus on social innovation.
Focus on rights and drugs
This event seeks to strengthen analytical and intervention tools from a rights-based approach: inclusive and gender equality in policies, programs and interventions of care and social inclusion for people with problematic drug use. But also to exchange good practices and demonstrative experiences in inclusive actions, care, attention and stigma reduction with a rights-based approach for women and vulnerable groups.
