Queercare

Associação Kosmicare

The QueerCare project aims to promote services that are more inclusive, culturally sensitive and responsive to the needs of LGBTQIA+ people who use drugs.

This is a little-researched area, lacking intervention in Portugal. It is intended to train professionals who work in the area of drugs (educating them on diversity and gender-sensitive approaches) and in the area of gender (educating them about the specific needs of people who use drugs). It is intended to create a collaborative network based on the Queer-friendly community with organisations working in the areas of drugs, gender diversity and violence prevention, mental health, sexual health, representatives of queer collectives, etc.

The work will culminate in a meeting with government organisations responsible for the area of gender and drugs in Portugal to present a policy paper.
