Goals of the women´s section are:

influence attitudes and values regarding girl’s and women’s abuse and potential for treatment;
influence decision-makers in the Nordic Countries, the Baltic States and the rest of Europe such that resources are made available for research and preventive initiatives in this field;

stimulate interest in women’s abuse issues among groups that have not previously been involved in work of this nature;
increase exchanges and cooperation between various players in the Nordic countries and the Baltic States to stimulate increased gender-specific, gender-sensitive initiatives for girls and women in the combat against alcohol and drugs;
create a joint strategy for NordAN’s work in alcohol and drug issues from a women’s perspective.
