At the same time, the nation has limited under-scale NSP [Needle Syringe Program] and OAT [Opiate Agonist Theory], with no peer naloxone distribution or safe consumption rooms. Women who use drugs (WUD) are subject to high rates of violence, stigma and discrimination.

"Outreach for WUD [women who use drugs] through harm reduction programs is severely limited where ultimately women are often not included in the estimates of drug using populations and HIV prevalence. To address this gap, the Indonesian drug user network supported 'Women Speak Out', a peer-driven participatory study. This study looked at HIV-related vulnerability and barriers faced by WUD, and their access to health services. The findings confirmed that WUD have many unmet needs and are often neglected by existing harm reduction programs" (9).

As a result, violence in any form other than penetration, and committed by outside family members, such as intimate partners, escapes justice" (11-12).
