AKWA IBOM
Enhancing Harm Reduction Services for Women Who Use Drugs in Akwa Ibom State
This project aims to increase access to HIV, harm reduction, and sexual and reproductive health services for women who use or inject drugs. Using a community-based, peer-driven approach, it builds local capacity and addresses barriers such as law enforcement raids and limited service reach.
