| Abstract | ||
| Drug abuse is one of the most prominent challenges facing modern societies, due to its serious health, psychological, economic, social, and security consequences. In this context, the importance of women as a fundamental pillar in building the family and shaping social values, and their pivotal role in preventing this scourge, becomes evident. This research focuses on clarifying the role of women on two main levels: First: The family role, where the mother forms the first line of defense against the dangers of drugs through the proper socialization of her children, instilling religious and moral values in them, monitoring their daily behavior, and strengthening family bonds of trust and communication, which contribute to reducing deviance and falling into the trap of addiction. Second: The societal role, manifested through women's participation in educational, awareness, and media activities, their active role in educational institutions and civil society organizations, as well as their contribution to awareness and guidance campaigns about the dangers of drugs and methods of prevention. Furthermore, empowering women intellectually and culturally enables them to be influential elements in developing and implementing national drug control strategies. Enhancing women's status and providing them with awareness, knowledge, and training programs directly contributes to building family and community resilience against drugs, making them active partners in achieving social security and protecting future generations from this serious scourge. | ||
