We join the world to mark the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, every June 26.
Drugs or substance use inflicts profound harm on people and communities around the world while fuelling violence, crime and instability.
This year’s theme challenges the world to forge solutions grounded in foresight, innovation and solidarity, by harnessing technology to stop cyber-trafficking, working with police and authorities to detect and disrupt criminal networks and the manufacture of synthetic drugs and by boosting investment in prevention, harm-reduction and treatment.
Let’s recommit to the bold, innovative and evidence-based solutions this scourge demands.
