Stigma in Vulnerable Drug-Using Populations: Migrants, Incarcerated Individuals, and Women
摘要
Migrant populations, refugees, incarcerated individuals, and women who use substances face strong stigmatization, which affects their psychological well-being and limits their access to health services, including treatments for substance abuse. Moreover, the intersection of stigmatized identities amplifies their vulnerability and the stigma they suffer. Consequently, institutions must guarantee their rights, ensure equitable access to health, and adopt gender- and culturally adapted approaches in programs to reduce self-stigma and improve the effectiveness of interventions.
