Thought-provoking piece by Charity Monareng from @ssdpofficial on decriminalisation of drug use in light of recent revelations in the #MadlangaCommission. Criminalising drug use makes the cartels stronger, not weaker: dailymaverick.co.za/article/2026-0…

Young voices. Real facts. Zero stigma. This #WorldAIDSDay2025, we’re calling for harm reduction, compassion, and a transformed HIV response. Overcome disruption. Transform the response. @ssdpofficial @SSDPIntl @SDPcampaign #SSDPNigeria #EndHIV #HarmReductionNow

Join us as we continue raising the conversation for health, dignity, and human rights. #success" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">us02web.zoom.us/j/8207453725#s… #Decrim #DrugPolicy @MonarengCharity
