The Bill, as it is, is a product of a process that excluded robust public participation as required by the Constitution.

Punitive drug laws and policies infringe human rights. They provide the architecture for racist and discriminatory policing practices, drive mass incarceration and limit the realisation of the right to health. #HumanRightsDay

To End GBV, we must allow for conversations, however uncomfortable they may be! Otherwise we leave out those that need to be transformed! Hence our running project, the Men Against Violence Initiative. Thanks @YouthRISE for support! #16Days

Drug use & mental health issues can co-occur but conflating them is inaccurate, stigmatising and can have harmful consequences incl removing the agency/capacity of people who use drugs to make decisions about their own bodies & lives https://t.co/pQdGb7PRv1

[#IOAD2022🧵] To #EndOverdose, we must recognise the full humanity of people who use drugs. People who use drugs are not to be warehoused in prisons, pushed into destitution, ostracised due to harmful stigma and discrimination, criminalised or punished... (1/5)
