First Nations Health Authority has shifted some of its opioid emphasis toward overdose prevention for women. Find out more.
“We have heard from First Nations women that in some cases, they don’t prefer to use the harm reduction services because of safety reasons,” Wieman said, noting that women can be hit on, face racism, or just be uncomfortable using substances while surrounded by men.
Wieman said that while the sites are new, she has heard anecdotally that “women obviously feel more comfortable, they feel safer” at the women-only sites. “I don’t want to go to detox or withdrawal services where I’d have to stay for a week because who’s gonna look after my kids?” she said women would ask.
“You hear it from women in general,” Wieman said. “But I think part of the worry for Indigenous women — going back to racism and discrimination — is they fear the child apprehension piece quite a bit more.”
