New report: The Global State of Harm Reduction 2024 is here! https://lnkd.in/gnWxf5U7 Now in its the ninth edition, the Global State of Harm Reduction 2024 is the most comprehensive global mapping of harm reduction responses to drug use, HIV and viral hepatitis. It has been produced through a collaborative effort between community and civil society representatives and researchers. The report includes nine regional chapters authored by experts from each region. Each regional chapter presents data on the availability of harm reduction services and addresses two key issues that require special attention. For the first time ever, the report also includes three new thematic chapters focused on harm reduction for Indigenous people, people in prison and youth. Like in previous editions, there is data on the implementation of viral hepatitis services for people who use drugs. #globalhealth #HIV #hepatitis #healthpolicy #harmreduction #overdose #drugpolicy #humanrights #Indigenoushealth #prisons #investinjustice

About us
We envision a world in which drug polices uphold dignity, health and rights. We use data and advocacy to promote harm reduction and drug policy reform. We show how rights-based, evidence-informed responses to drugs contribute to healthier, safer societies, and why investing in harm reduction makes sense. https://hri.global/about-us/ What is harm reduction? Harm reduction refers to policies, programmes and practices that aim to minimise the negative health, social and legal impacts associated with drug use, drug policies and drug laws. Harm reduction is grounded in justice and human rights. It focuses on positive change and on working with people without judgement, coercion, discrimination, or requiring that they stop using drugs as a precondition of support. We are an NGO in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.

People who decide to use drugs must be treated as individuals. Recognising the need for safety, support, and solidarity is as important as providing health and social services.
