Towards a Conducive Legal and Structural Environment for HIV Services: Responding to the needs of women in prisons & women who inject drugs in Afghanistan, Nepal and Pakistan Fariba Soltani Senior Expert - Portfolio Manager HIV/AIDS Section United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime

I am a woman who uses drugs and… I am subjected to forced sterilisation or abortion I don’t feel comfortable going to HIV service points run only by male staff I often have to sell sex to get drugs and inject drugs with the needle used by my partner I fear losing custody of my child I have to get permission from my family members or spouse to access services Health-care workers do not trust me, as if I just want drugs I often face violence including sexual violence, even from people who should protect me I am treated as a criminal - I don’t feel safe going to health centres due to fear of arrest

I am a woman in prison and… I was gang raped when I first arrived here We have no methadone here, so I started injecting drugs again I have been locked up without a trial for months I am pregnant & living with HIV. My treatment stopped since I came here. I don’t want my child to be born with HIV I also inject drugs with used syringe & needle as we can’t get sterile needles-syringes here We don’t have access to sexual and reproductive health care services I am forced to have sex to get any incentive or earned privilege

Unsafe injecting drug use is main mode of transmission of HIV and HCV in these three UNODC project countries No specific services existed for women who use drugs or women in prisons before this program started in 2008

UNODC support to countries: Using the human rights & gender lenses Review drugs & criminal justice law, policies & practices to determine if they have a negative impact on women Ensure that HIV policy and programme are gender responsive Consider effective & humane approaches, e.g. alternatives to imprisonment for women, including for those who use drugs Involve & support CSO & CBO representing women who use drugs in programme design, implementation, monitoring & evaluation Implement & enforce measures to prevent violence, including sexual violence, both in community and in prisons

Gender-responsive programming Comprehensive HIV services, including harm reduction Capacity building Advocacy Operational research Monitoring and Evaluation

AFGHANISTAN

NEPAL

PAKISTAN

Sustainability: Multi-layered Governments acknowledge the needs of these vulnerable women Advocacy and trainings have had long standing effects Supported legal and policy reforms Included in Global Fund proposals in countries, BUT didn’t receive the needed resources Still large gaps in service provisions remain
