Our new blog post about how the 2020 Youth RISE Small Grant was used to both grow and strengthen youth organizations in both Hungary and the USA! https://youthrise.org/growing-and-strengthening-youth-organizations/

On 21st of January 2021, the Webinar “Addressing specific needs of people living with HIV, Tuberculosis, Hepatitis and drug users in COVID-19 context” was organized by ERNA –“European Network on HIV/AIDS, TB and Hepatitis C” and IFRC - International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. It was attended by 47 participants from 15 countries of Europe and Central Asia.

“We must consider the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to reinforce our capacity in combating substance abuse and infectious diseases such as HIV, HCV, tuberculosis, but also to rethink together our priorities and strategies for the next months and years in order to contribute and improve health conditions of our target groups”, with these words Massimo Barra, President of ERNA, opened the webinar.

We provide expert speakers on Drug Policy Reform, harm reduction and law reform.

Our new year started with 12 new chapters and the election of our first ever international board!!!!

We all know disasters happen, whether it be natural disasters or global pandemics, but usually, they don’t hit so close to home for most of us and hence, with Liberia recording its First Corona Virus case on March 15, 2020; the Drug Policy Coalition of Liberia and partners have thereof developed the Liberia Ghettos Outreach Initiative-LGOI aimed at provide support for disadvantaged young people who are substance users living in ghettos/ streets across Liberia.

The program seeks to provide temporary feeding, increase advocacy especially for females substance users against SGBV and unwarranted brutality against substance users by state security officers, enhance psychosocial counselling and support for substance users in Liberia during this COVID-19 and beyond.

Child Labor

Child Labor is depriving a child from not attaining to their potential and it will affect their mental development and expose them to harmful injuries.

Child Labor cannot be encourage in any way of life because it will prevent a child not attain to his goal in life it’s also affect development in our Society because a child that is properly empower cannot be useful to the society and the country at Large. Government should pass a decree into Law especially with the sub-Saharan region in Africa and a penalty for anyone who abuse the right of a child should face the law because that can create fear to society and lead to the birth control because of the consequences of child Labor

Meanwhile, a child should be given the opportunity to exhibit their talent and bring out their potential.

Conclusively, parents should live up to their expectation to give his/her child the required education that will enable their child to be useful to the society and to the country at large.

AGEING

Everyone’s dream is to see his/herself in a unique age before death comes knocking.

Age is the number of years a person spends on planet earth and before aging. An individual

needs to maintain his/her Health and to preserve Good Heath, we should take balance diet

and nutrition, take physical exercise, rest and sleep well regularly, maintain cleanliness

everywhere in our life and always go for medical check-up.

An individual age is classified into three stages and they are BIRTH, TEEN AND ADULT AGE

CHALLENGES FACING THE GIRL CHILD

Most communities and families believe that the girl child has no value to their community or family. In some states and communities, women are subjected to forced marriages, low standard of living, and poor educational background.

The inequality and disadvantages that girls face stem from three interwoven causes: child marriage, child pregnancy, and child labor, all of which are exacerbated by poverty and have insidious consequences on the outcomes of these girls‘ lives.

HUMAN RIGHT AND GIRL CHILD

The human rights of children and the girl-child are explicitly set out in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the most widely ratified human rights Treaty in History.

• Right to education of all levels

• Right to protection from all physical or mental abuse

• Right to information about healthy sexuality and reproduction etc.

CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate Change is one of the most complex issue facing the world today and it needs to be addressed. The rising temperature, global warming, rainfall pattern, extreme weather. This affects the environment at large.

The United Nation Framework convention on Climate Change has organized several convention on climate change inviting the world leaders to tackle Climate related issues. Asabe Shehu Yar’Adua Foundation (ASYARFS) was in attendance in line with the United Nation on the events on Climate issues.

All of the negative consequences increase their magnitude on Agriculture. For instance; Droughts create wildfires which in turn destroy the crops that are basically for consumption.

We need to stop these Climate issuesbecause we have the knowledge, power and ability to stop the effects of Climate Change.

"Access to healthcare is a human right that must be respected also for people with substance use disorders. They have the right to receive the needed treatment without being hampered or discriminated."

HUNGER

Goal 2 of SDG of the United Nations;

Hunger is a craving or urgent need for food or a specific nutrient. It has now become a global problem. More than 820 million people in the world suffer from chronic hunger. It is a major contributing factor in premature death. Ending hunger and achieving food security remain major challenges for people everywhere. To end hunger we must tackle its root causes.We need to end hunger to ensure the Developing and Under-Developing Countries have access to the foods and livelihood opportunities needed to live securely and comfortably. We already possess the knowledge and the resources to end hunger, now we need to use our assets in the most effective way to make positive change.

While ending world hunger is of course not an easy task, and few people even with the best of intentions have the same approaches, it’s not idealistic to say that within our lifetime we absolutely can ensure that no person goes hungry again.

POVERTY

Poverty has been one of the greatest enemy in the 21st Century, every nation is faced with different level of poverty. Poverty is hunger. It is a state of being poor.

Developing, under-developed as well as developed nations live in poverty especially in developing areas of West and Sub-sahara Africa. Poverty can be tackled by the equal distribution of income and it must benefit all individuals, the poor masses should be educated in order to help the nations economic development, education teaches everyone about their right and by teaching the poor masses or setting up a skill acquisition for them, it will help in the growth and expansion of the country.

One way of reducing poverty is by educating poor people so that they can contribute to nation’s economic development. Education teaches the poor the growth and expansion of the country.

Poverty is a threat to human security, let’s all unite and eradicate it.

THE LESS PRIVILEDGE

Less privileged are people vulnerable to either physical (disables), financial (poor) problems. Numerous of the society are blessed financially. However, the less privileged have to live from hand to mouth. Less Privileged children do not have access to good health and education.

Taking care of the underprivileged could be carried out through diverse approaches, it is either through financial aid, provision of free health care services, free education, and the rest of them.

It is our duty as believers to bring joy and future to the less privileged among us. If every one of us can just add a little effort to help the less privileged or needy in our society, the world will be a better place for all.

Addiction or social mandate?

Towards a gender perspective in the dependence field, by María Paula Capote, Social Worker at the Chanaes Comprehensive Treatment Centre for Youth and Adults with Dual Pathology, managed by the Fundación Dianova Uruguay

Including gender as a category in intervention means keeping in mind throughout the process the variables entailed by being a woman in a given sociohistorical context or moment. Addiction intervention has focused mainly on the drug itself and not on the consumer’s characteristics, and what really guarantees success in the therapeutic process is being able to problematize and intervene in the relationship that the person has established with the substance.

More about: https://www.dianova.org/publications/addiction-or-social-mandate/

Dianova took part in the 12th Annual Drug Addiction Conference organized by the Universitat de Barcelona and Projecte Home Catalunya.

☑️Lucia Goberna representing Dianova, presented some data that show the concerning trend of addictive behaviours among young people.

☑️Oriol Esculies, Director of Projecte Home Catalunya, who spoke about “the different sides of addiction” presenting eight real cases of people who are undergoing treatment, key aspects about the people to consider when designing interventions and the type of intervention and work that is being carried out with each of these people.

☑️Jordi Bernabeu, a Psychologist from the Mental Health Division of the Althaia Foundation in Manresa, delivered a very clear perspective on the abuse of ICTs.

CHALLENGES OF THE DISABLED: On the 3rd of December is the International Day of people with Disabilities in line with the United Nations (UN)

The disabled are persons who are physically and mentally challenged with long-term adverse effect (side effect) which make them unable to carry out day to day activities. They are also starved of some services and they are mostly ignored by the society. Some challenges they commonly face are;

Difficulties to go to public places especially in developing and underdeveloped countries

Difficulties to get a job and are even deprived of education

Difficulties to enjoy their full civil right

Difficulties to interact or communicate with peoples

Some end up becoming tout and even beggars.

We challenge the Federal Government to follow the steps of the United Nations, who has remarkably succeeded in re-awakening the consciousness of the entire human race on the need to create a new world order on issues concerning women, children, and other classes of people in the society.

We all are aware of the challenges still confronting women, especially in the Developed, Developing, and Underdeveloped countries.

Evidence-based practices are central to SANA’s approach in substance abuse prevention and rehabilitation. Over the last two years, SANA has carried out five research studies to enhance our intervention efforts for people in recovery and their families.

For more information, please head to our website at https://www.sana.org.sg/research-insights/

SANA provides recovering persons with opportunities to strengthen family and social networks. We offer them a range of support services to equip them to face the challenges in their daily lives and to succeed in things both big and small!

SANA Step-Up Centre (walk-in centre) was set up in 2015 where recovering persons and their family members can drop by for assistance.

The two centres – Step-Up @ Sengkang and Step-Up @ Jurong – enable recovering persons to intentionally “step up” to the challenges faced in their recovery and reintegration in a positive and supportive environment.

The Annual ‘Rise Above – Overcoming the Influence’ campaign was launched on 30 June 2018. The campaign aims to counter the softening stance and misperception toward drugs; garner mindshare and support for a drug-free Singapore; and to co-create preventive solutions and projects with community partners and stakeholders. Schools and youths join the campaign to initiate their own anti-drug projects.

CAUSES OF STREET CHILD

Asabe Shehu Yar’Adua Foundation (ASYARF), a non-governmental organization ( NGO), has said the imbalance in the distribution of national wealth was Largely responsible for the rising incidence of a street child.

The President /Founder Dr. Asabe Shehu Yar’Adua, stated this in Street Child Awareness Campaign.

She also said lack of empowerment of the majority in the society has culminated in poverty “making it imperative for the citizenry to attach little importance to the place of value and decency in a battle for survival in a rising competitive environment”

We help tomorrow's responsible parents by helping to prepare the youth of today.

We vest youth with the preventive knowledge needed to stay alive and teach them to share that knowledge with their peers.

We build extended family support networks in local villages and communities to deliver education and healthcare to children affected by AIDS.

We create healthcare awareness by building basic health plans with village women and their families. These plans help them to prevent HIV/AIDS, Malaria and water-borne diseases.

Barra talked about challenges in access to treatment for PWUDs during the COVID-19 pandemic:

“COVID-19 risks to become a ‘perfect excuse’ to justify inaction against people with drug use disorders. Availability of opioid substitution therapy is the 1st step to alleviate human suffering, as we stated in the Rome Consensus 2.0 Declaration. Within this health public warning for Covid-19 governments should also test & treat population for hepatitis C and HIV.

Pandemic crisis should be an opportunity to integrate harm reduction in outreach strategies at all levels."
