About Metzineres Women and gender-diverse people who use drugs—and who survive multiple violences and situations of vulnerability—rarely access or engage with socio-healthcare networks, and are often excluded from specialized services both in drug-related support and in addressing gender-based violence. In response to this situation, Metzineres was founded in 2018 to deploy Sheltered Environments exclusively for these individuals, integrating a full-spectrum harm reduction approach, intersectional feminism, and peer empowerment into its intervention model. After three years operating under the umbrella of other organizations, in 2020 Metzineres became an independent non-profit cooperative and began a process of institutional autonomy, now nearing completion. This circumstance—combined with years of work and experience—has generated stability and maturity as a project, enabling us to envision an exciting future trajectory. Currently, the Metzineres team comprises nineteen people: eleven belong to the intervention team—those directly working with participants—and eight belong to the structural team—those responsible for sustainability, organization, strategy, and advocacy of the cooperative. After a long path of learning and growth, we can now affirm that Metzineres consists of a cohesive, committed, participatory, and responsible group of people, where camaraderie, solidarity, and mutual support prevail. Thanks to this articulated social ecosystem—and driven by the need to consolidate our work, along with recent acceptance of several projects to be developed in upcoming phases—Metzineres is expanding its team! We aim to grow in diversity, heterogeneity, and complexity without losing unity. **Profile:** What we value positively Master’s/Postgraduate degree in gender studies, drug policies, and/or care for people who use drugs in situations of vulnerability—including gender-based violence.
