On this International Day Against Drug Abuse, Children, Youth and Women Empowerment Initiative (ChiYoWo) joins voices with communities around the world to raise awareness about the dangers of drug abuse and the urgent need for collective action.

This year’s theme, “The World Drug Problem: Persisting Issues, New Challenges, Innovative Responses,” calls on governments, organizations, families, and individuals to embrace new strategies that promote prevention, rehabilitation, and social inclusion.

Drug abuse remains a major challenge affecting children, youth, families, and communities. Together, we can build a healthier, safer, and more productive society by promoting positive values, informed choices, and supportive environments.

Join us as we advocate for hope, resilience, and sustainable solutions that empower individuals to live drug-free lives.
