Children Whose Parents Use Drugs is a human rights-based project that lies at the intersection of children’s rights to health, education, development, participation, an adequate standard of living as well as the right to not be separated from their families, and people’s rights to not be stigmatised, discriminated against and criminalised because of substance dependence. It aims at building and consolidating narratives and practices that, while looking at parents and children in their own rights, address them also as a family. It also intends to be a contribution to the development of a wider children’s rights perspective in drug policy and a more aware drug policy perspective in the children’s rights agenda. The project was born as a response to the invitation to the Pompidou Group secretariat to contribute to the discussions on the Council of Europe Strategy for the Rights of the Child (2022-2027).
