The fight against discrimination through the critical education of people who use drugs
Fredy

This session addresses the fundamental and institutionalized injustices against people who use drugs that are the result of drug prohibition. Many people who use drugs face continuous struggles in their everyday lives under inhumane prohibition regimes. They have been killed, harmed unnecessarily, put in jail, depicted as evil, and stereotyped as dangerous and disposable. Prohibition regimes also affect people who use drugs in terms of their relationships with local authorities, policy makers, and service and treatment providers. They are often denied their basic human rights and are often not acknowledged as full citizens.

This is a ‘Users Choice’ session – meaning that the topic, themes and speakers have been selected by them International Network of People who Use Drugs (INPUD) to represent the most pertinent issues for its members. The international panel of speakers includes people who use drugs from Spain, Nepal, America and Indonesia. They will present on their own experiences with discrimination, but also on the ways that they dealt with these situations and took action to change things for the better.
