Objective

The health of queer people who use drugs must not be overlooked in our fight for sensible drug policy and 2SLGBTQ+ rights organizations must not ignore the rights and health of queer people who use drugs. The HIV Legal Networks' two new resources aim to raise awareness and build these connections — and, ultimately, to protect people’s health and save lives.

Findings/Key points

The Summary Report reviews the evidence about substance use among GBT2Q people and includes insights from queer people working in the field of harm reduction. The Agenda for Action presents nearly 30 recommendations for action in multiple areas.
