Dristi Nepal believes that every female drug user has to have choices as other non users regarding their lives and the factors that affect their lives. Dristi Nepal ,(Treatment and care home) has been running since 2007 .Truth but bitter ,till this date none of the funding agencies are concerned about female drug user's issues in Nepal.
Female drug users are facing a wide range of problems in Nepal. The lack of understanding of these differences is affecting FDUs in seeking and receiving effective treatment for their addiction. Despite the limited existence of information and opportunities available for female substance users for treatment and after care, they do not feel competent to expose themselves as (recovering) drug users, nor able to promote their livelihood and productively reintegrate back into the society.
The problem is aggravated by the existing strong traditions that keep females behind the doors in all aspects of socio- economic and political issues. When it comes to accessing the essential services and resources, females face a double tragedy. It is the feminization of poverty. In addition to lack of basic services, they lack the basic knowledge therefore they are handicapped in making decisions regarding their lives and those they take care of.
Dristi Nepal is organizing "MUSICAL CONCERT" , to advocate for the rights of female drug users and to raise fund for free treatment for female drug users of Nepal with in 2 months of period.
"We do recover , we are the proof "
