The aim for the Global Day of Action is to produce high-profile and visually symbolic local actions that call for drug policy reform and a higher commitment to harm reduction.
On June 25th, Open Society Foundations will be hosting an event to show support for the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking through an artistic platform that illuminates the effects of drug policies on communities all across the world.
This event will consider whether stigma is due to misrepresentation - that leads to public misunderstanding of drug use - and whether changing public opinions can lead to the development of improvements in the lives of people who use drugs and in the development of better services for people with a drug problem.
