This year, the harm reduction community faced unprecedented challenges. In the face of multiple crises, loss, and grave violence around the world, communities showed remarkable resilience. May 2026 bring justice and care for people who use drugs, as we continue to build brighter futures together.

It is resistance, community-led projects, and human-centered approaches that keep harm reduction programmes going; however, funding is key to maintain these services operating.

This #HumanRightsDay, we demand harm reduction.

Punitive drug laws violate rights, enable racist policing, fuel mass incarceration & block access to health. We centre human rights in our harm reduction advocacy because punitive policies undermine dignity, health & rights.
