Entornos de cobijo para mujeres y personas de género expansivo que sobreviven a múltiples violencias.
On June 26, as every year, a group of organizations of people who use drugs in Catalonia celebrated Support. Don’t Punish 2022: a global advocacy campaign calling for drug policies based on health and human rights. This time, we held the aquatic olympiads in Rambla del Raval, Barcelona. Throughout a Gymkhana full of humor and fun, we raised awareness about the multiple situations of vulnerability faced by people who use drugs.
On August the 31th we commemorate, as every year, the International Overdose Awareness Day. An international campaign, held in hundreds of cities around the world, with the aim of ending overdoses. To remember without stigma those who have died, and acknowledge the grief of the family and friends left behind. To claim that we are dealing with injustice, because these are avoidable deaths and they affect people in all areas of society and conditions.
Program 2022:
Come and share with us this day of memory and brother/sisterhood!
Organize: CATNPUD (ARSU Reus, Asaupam, Aupam, CatFAC, DonARSU Tot, Metzineres, REMA, XADUD)
