How Can We Take the Next Step Toward Gender-Sensitive Services?
We opened the discussion on whether existing harm reduction programs truly address gender differences among young people. Now we are taking a step further — from assessment to concrete guidance.
The Guide for Developing Gender-Sensitive Harm Reduction Programs offers practical tools for organizations working with young people, women, LGBTI individuals, Roma communities, sex workers, and other vulnerable groups.
The document outlines how to identify barriers, how to establish safe and inclusive spaces, how to collect gender-disaggregated data, and how to design services that genuinely meet the diverse needs of service users.
The Guide is concise, practical, and focused on real systemic change — a shift from “what is the problem” to “how do we solve it.”
