The socio-economic impact of HIV/AIDS is severe. The vulnerability of HIV/AIDS among female drug users are highly alarming .Due to the lack of proper supporting mechanism a large number of female drug users are at high risk of contracting HIV/AIDS. They will not only be unable to work, but will also required significant medical care and social protection. The forecast is that unless some urgent measures are taken the spread of HIV would cause a collapse of economies in various regions.


The regional consultation meeting with the target group(FIDUs/DUs) was very effective .


This consultation meeting had bridged the gaps between the existing service providers and the target group. Furthermore organizations came jointly to a conclusion to coordinate with each other to address the issues of the target group. This event brought different ideas and plans to move forward to work with female substance users in this region thus helping in prevention of HIV/AIDS and STIs among one of the most vulnerable sectors of the population.
