# The triple burden: cross-sector stigma in care pathways for women with complex needs

The triple burden: intersectoral stigma in the care pathways of women with complex needs

Presenter: Arpit J. Parmar

Country: India

Session: 2560 - ADDICTIVE DISORDERS AND BEHAVIORS IN WOMEN: BIOLOGICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL AND SOCIETAL PERSPECTIVES

Date: Thu, 24.09.2026, 09:15 - 09:30

Room: Hall K11

Women who use substances face three layers of stigma arising from addiction, being a woman, and needing psychiatric care, leaving their clinical needs inadequately met.

The presentation examines care pathways for women who use substances through the lens of the stigma they encounter. It identifies three layers of stigma: addiction-related stigma, gender-based stigma, and stigma associated with needing psychiatric care. The talk discusses how stigma operates across multiple institutional settings, particularly psychiatric services, addiction treatment services, and child protection agencies. It also explores how moral judgments, restrictive gender expectations, and norms surrounding motherhood shape professional attitudes, noting that these attitudes often leave women’s clinical needs inadequately met. It concludes that addressing cross-sector stigma requires a holistic approach and a paradigm shift toward more integrated care pathways, gender-specific models of care, and trauma-informed services.
