International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking in
Days to go:
International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking is an annual observance that aims to raise awareness about the significant dangers of drug abuse and illicit trade. The event seeks to foster global cooperation in combating these issues while promoting individual and collective responsibility in addressing them. This observance seeks to educate people on the detrimental consequences of drug use and promote healthy lifestyles devoid of substance abuse. While the issue of drug abuse and illicit trafficking may seem distant, it is highly relevant to New Zealanders. The United Nations first designated June 26th as the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking in 1987, in response to the growing drug crisis which has since spread globally. Substance abuse, whether related to prescription medications or illicit drugs, carries great risks to the individual user as well as the wider community. Issues such as increased health care costs, decline in productivity, and drug-related criminal activities impact the nation as a whole. To observe the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking in New Zealand, various organisations hold events that encompass awareness, prevention, and rehabilitation. These events can include educational seminars, workshops, and conferences that share information and resources aimed at tackling drug-related issues. Schools and community groups may also conduct activities that challenge cultural norms around drug use and encourage informed decision-making. The International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking is observed annually on June 26th.
