Dear Drugreporter Supporter,
according to scientific evidence, storytelling is more powerful than presenting people with the facts. The first video we present you in this newsletter will tell you a story about a pregnant woman who uses drugs and her journey through the health and social care system in Berlin - watch our video here!
We also recommend you to watch our movie we produced in co-operation with DiaLogs, a harm reduction NGO based in Tallinn, about drug policies in Latvia.
The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights called civil society organisations to contribute to its report on the implementation of the UNGASS Outcome Document, adopted in New York in 2016. We have sent a submission about how closing down harm reduction services violated human rights in Hungary – read it here!
Brave young people had enough of harsh drug laws in Belarus and fight back. They found allies in the mothers of drug convicts, who went on hunger strike to demand an end to the war on their sons. Read our interview with a youth activist, Piotr Markieau!
Please keep supporting Drugreporter so we can feed you with videos and articles from the frontlines of the war on drugs!
Best regards,
Peter Sarosi
