CELEBRATING THE CONTINUING SUCCESS of the
Support. Don’t Punish
global day of action
on 26 June, the infographic on the left was prepared by the Women and Harm Reduction
International Network (WHRIN) to raise awareness about the issues surrounding drug use
among women.
WHRIN is made up of women whose lives have been affected by these issues, and it aims
to cultivate an international harm reduction network for women who use drugs and those
working with them.
The group provides a much-needed platform to share resources and good practice, as well
as a forum for discussion, advocacy and training.
