Celebrate International Drug Users Day 2024: Resources and Reflections
Events
31 Oct 2024
November 1 marks International Drug Users Day (IDUD)—a day for community, connection and celebration for people who use drugs worldwide—challenging the stigma and discrimination that erodes our access to healthcare, safety, self-determination and freedom.
This year we want to reaffirm that the war on drugs is a war on people who use drugs. Despite widespread criminalisation, on this day, we want to celebrate our freedom to make choices, our right to bodily integrity and autonomy, and our inherent dignity.
This year’s theme is: ‘drug use = our choice, abstinence = your choice, prohibition = no choice’.
For those looking to join in, download free assets from INPUD and use AIVL’s Canva design templates to share IDUD’s spirit and spread awareness.
