Harm Reduction International’s human rights programme aims to promote a human rights-based approach to international drug policy. We advocate for an international legal and policy environment that is conducive to the expansion of harm reduction policies and services and to the realisation of the human rights of people who use drugs and those affected by drug use, drug policies and the drug trade.
Harm Reduction International pursues this objective through an integrated programme of high quality legal and policy research and analysis, and international advocacy in collaboration with key civil society partners.
