BREAKING:

Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza survives second impeachment attempt, absolved of all charges.

Very unfortunate. Disgusting. What has been done to punish these so called leaders?

Precisely! Just because a girl uses one drug or the other does not take their rights away.

'Women are subject, again and again, to horrific violations under the guise of a 'war on drugs,' suffering extortion, rape, torture, with strong disincentives for reporting'.

Singapore intends to execute 2 people for drug offences this week.

We urge the Govt. of Singapore to stop these executions & we call on the international community to help halt this inhumane, ineffective and discriminatory practice in Singapore. hri.global/publications/j…

$100 billion is spent on global drug law enforcement every year, but just $131 million is spent on #HarmReduction .

This means that we spend more than 750 times the amount on punitive responses to drugs than we do on life-saving services for people who use drugs.

#WHRINetwork

Today we proudly launch the support don’t punish with a focus on women and people of diverse gender identity campaign 2023 round up report.

Drug laws and policies infringe on the rights of people who use drugs. Our advocacy places human rights at the centre, recognising that punitive laws and policies are detrimental to the realisation of human rights for all.

#supportdontpunish . These laws entrench gender inequality and GBV. Laws that punish a person for using any drug need to be reviewed urgently in order for society to respect the dignity of women women who use drugs. Hon.
