World AIDS Day is a moment to honour the progress

World AIDS Day is a moment to honour the progress made, while recognising the work that remains. Many drug user organisations around Australia started in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Although the prevalence of HIV is low within the community of people who use drugs, sustaining that requires leadership from people who use drugs. Nothing about us without us. #WorldAIDSDay #HarmReduction #communityleadership

🌍 Today, AIVL addressed the Joint Standing Comm

🌍 Today, AIVL addressed the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence, and Trade’s Inquiry into Australia’s advocacy for the worldwide abolition of the death penalty.

🚨 34 countries execute people for drug offences.

42% of all known executions worldwide are for drug offences.

In 2023 alone, at least 467 people were executed for drug offences in just 5 countries.

Australia opposes the death penalty for any crime and supports harm reduction for people who use drugs.

Yet, Australia’s Federal Police are complicit in sharing information that could lead to executions in other countries.

🔍 What does that say about our values?

If we want to truly abolish the death penalty, our actions must align with our words.

Performance and Image Enhancing Drugs (PIEDs) are

Performance and Image Enhancing Drugs (PIEDs) are the fastest growing drug category reflected in NSP statistics across Australia.
