Show 156: Female Drug Users & Landmine Victims


 

Show 156: Female Drug Users & Landmine Victims – Recently, Equity Weekly investigated the status and practices of the country’s drug rehabilitation centers. Noticing that only men are allowed as patients, Equity Weekly now asks: Where do female drug addicts go for help? Female Drug Users (Main Story) Drugs have the same destructive impact on both men and women, but there is no government-run drug rehabilitation center designed for women. Private clinics that help women are very expensive. Where can poor female drug addicts go to get treatment?
