Human rights and drug use with Gabriele Fischer

Human rights and drug use with Gabriele Fischer

The SSA interviews Professor Gabriele Fischer in advance of her Society Lecture at the 2022 Annual Conference in November. This year's conference will be in Bristol on 4 and 5 November. early-bird tickets are now available here.


In this interview, Professor Gabriele Fischer talks about her interest in human rights work in relation to people who use drugs. She discusses the implications of UN human rights treaties and how they apply to psychiatry. She also talks about the importance of incorporating family planning and trauma informed care into treatment services along with international issues around coercion in treatment.


Professor Fischer outlines the information about human rights that are important for people who use drugs, but also about the human rights responsibilities for states in providing treatment services, noting that "financial complaints is no justification for having violated human rights aspects".

“I’m not a supporter of only talking about female substance use disorder. It has to be about sex and gender differences […] and what both sexes share.”


See the SSA pages on adopting a rights based approach to treatment delivery.
