Suárez Ordoñez, R., Travis-Roberts J., Abi Hana, R., and Jones, H. published three articles focusing on trauma, which are summarised in the following paper. The articles are:

  • Mind the Gap: Global Survey Examining Access for Substance Use Disorder Treatment for Women.
  • Addressing the Gap: Global Survey Finds Urgent Need for Trauma Care in Women with Substance Use Disorders (SUD)
  • Digital Presence of Treatment Centers for Substance Use Disorders Around the World: Results from a Global Survey

Position Paper: Gender-Specific Treatment & Recovery by the WFAD Global Gender Committee

The position paper is an exhaustive document elaborating on women and addiction, the stigma they face, the risks, the concept of recovery, crosscutting issues, and ways forward to allow women with substance use disorders to receive the necessary services while reducing barriers to their treatment and recovery.

In 2024, the second version of the document was published during the 16-Days of Activism, including a chapter on Trauma.
