Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Drug Free Club Gambia recently joined the rest of the world in marking International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Drug Trafficking.<\/b><\/p>\n

In its statement on the day, it said: \u201cThis day is a significant day because it highlights the dangers of drugs and the negative impact they have on individuals, families, and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The theme for this year’s campaign was “People First: Stop Stigma and Discrimination.” The theme is a call to action to end the stigmatisation and discrimination against people who use drugs and create a more inclusive society.<\/p>\n

As a drug free club organization, Drug Free Club Gambia added that it recognises that addiction is a disease, and those struggling with it need empathy, understanding, and support. \u201cWe aim to create a safe and supportive environment for those who are in recovery or want to be,\u201d it also said.<\/p>\n

It called on all and sundry to work together to break the stereotypes and prejudices associated with drug abuse, promote a culture of compassion, care, and acceptance of those who choose to seek help, noting that it is only then can we truly achieve a drug-free world.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn this day, let us pledge to encourage and support those who want to turn their lives around and promote a positive culture that embraces healing and well-being,\u201d it further said.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemember, people come first. Together, we can make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n
