On June 26th, thousands of people participated in activities organized in more than 180 cities and over 80 countries as part of Global Day of Action based on the campaign #SupportDontPunishl against “war on drugs”. The campaign aims to promote access to interventions on harm reduction and eliminate the criminalization of people who consume drugs.
In Argentina, due to the noticeable increase of institutional violence particularly police involvement, Intercambios Civil Association was determined to disclose institutional violence against adolescents who consume alcohol and other drugs in different settings such as schools, hospitals, and public spaces. To do so, connections were made with organizations, professionals, and health care teams from all over the country that collaborated in the campaign. Over 20 organizations from different regions of the country adhered and organized different activities.
