Punitive drug laws and policies infringe human rights. They provide the architecture for racist and discriminatory policing practices, drive mass incarceration and limit the realisation of the right to health. #HumanRightsDay

@mame_bougouma @MaAbuor @KNH_hospital @HakiKNCHR Respect for life, compassion, and dignity are bestowed on all by virtue of being human, made in the image of God. when they go to pray, they must seek divine punishment by their God(s)

@VOCALKenya @MaAbuor @KNH_hospital @HakiKNCHR I'm sure the people who turned him down go to church twice a week and sermonize left and right too...

HE DIED BECAUSE I’M POOR! ''We could not raise an additional Sh20,500 required by the hospital'' The commercialization of Healthcare and the tragedy of being poor in Kenya! @MaAbuor @KNH_hospital @HakiKNCHR nation.africa/kenya/news/cou…

Drug use & mental health issues can co-occur but conflating them is inaccurate, stigmatising and can have harmful consequences incl removing the agency/capacity of people who use drugs to make decisions about their own bodies & lives hri.global/contents/2136 #WorldMentalHealthDay

Let us start the easy conversation, increasing health budget specifically harm reduction funding for people in problematic drug use. Kenya should lead the way @WilliamsRuto @MOH_Kenya

”Solutions through Solidarity, Sustainability and Science” @WilliamsRuto problematic drug use is a public health problem, not a criminal justice issue. @HRInews @ejaf @OSFHealth @VOCALKenya

We appreciate increasing Kenyan pledge to the @GlobalFund by 40%. May be good start to talk about #harmreductionfinancing .Play a yard before you a abroad ..my Ghetto slogan..@HRInews @ejaf @OSF_IHRD @OnCaucus @NextgenlawyersK @MEWArehabKe @reachout_ke @okoavijanapwani @Wrada_Ke

[#IOAD2022🧵] To #EndOverdose, we must recognise the full humanity of people who use drugs. People who use drugs are not to be warehoused in prisons, pushed into destitution, ostracised due to harmful stigma and discrimination, criminalised or punished... (1/5)

There are ever more people who die because of drug use disorders, especially of #overdoses. We promote health and human rights-centered drug policies including #HarmReduction to prevent these deaths ➡️gpdpd.org/en/drug-policy… #InternationalOverdoseAwarenessDay
