El libro explora lo que significa usar drogas y ser mujer en contextos de vulnerabilidad económica en las ciudades de Pereira y Dosquebradas, a través de entrevistas con 54 mujeres, en su mayoría de las redes atendidas por los programas de reducción de daños en esas ciudades. Las políticas de drogas, y la experiencia femenina con el uso de drogas, considerada como transgresora, es recibida con misoginia institucional, exacerbando así condiciones adversas de salud y condiciones generales de vida. Tomando como referencia los relatos de 54 mujeres que usan distintas drogas ilícitas, se abordan las experiencias en el inicio del consumo, las condiciones estructurales de vida, los ciclos de violencia que han experimentado, la salud sexual y la agencia reproductiva, la maternidad, el papel de la reducción de daños en sus vidas, y la búsqueda de tratamiento. El libro propone, por un lado, que la política actual de drogas empeora la calidad de vida de mujeres inmersas en el consumo, y propone, desde la experiencia comunitaria, unas claves para incluir enfoques de cuidado en estas políticas.
