How Leaders Have Help Chances/cases O Drugs Abuse.

Women in Mombasa have been urged by the council of Imams to step up the war against drug abuse.Women were the most affected by the drug menace,barons targeted them to peddle the drugs for them.It is time women step up the fight against drug abuse. Many women who have been drug addicts for many years have been taken to rehabilitation centres to make them change from taking drugs due to their health.Many have now stopped taking and selling the drugs, this has helped them to live normal life without taking the drugs at all.They have gone back in the community to stop issues of drug abuse as they give police self testimony on how drug has ruined their lives before, this would make people to learn lesson from them.
