 Crisscross 

CRISSCROSS is a European partnership project addressing gender-based violence and substance use in nightlife settings. In Portugal, it is led by Kosmicare, a peer-based NGO in harm reduction, drug policy, research, and training.

Its participatory, evidence-informed approach targets both existing substance use and its onset as a coping mechanism for trauma or insecurity.
