Ibiyobyabwenge byangiza ubuzima: Dukomeze kubyirinda no kuvura ababaswe na byo. #SupportDontPunish #EndDrugAbuse
Today, @RwandaNGOForum , alongside fellow Tubiteho Project consortium members, joined @RBCRwanda and the community for a belated observance of the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking #IDADAIT2026, reaffirming our collective commitment to addressing the growing burden of substance use and its impact on individuals, families, and communities. Observed annually on 26th June, the day serves as a global call to strengthen prevention, treatment, and recovery efforts for all. Under the theme “Breaking the Chains: Prevention, Treatment & Recovery for All” translated in Kinyarwanda as “Ibiyobyabwenge byangiza ubuzima: Dukomeze kubyirinda no kuvura ababaswe nabyo,” the event highlighted the urgent need to expand access to harm reduction services, promote early identification and treatment, and strengthen integrated support systems for people who use drugs (PWUDs). Together, we continue to advocate for people-centred, evidence-based harm reduction approaches that prioritize dignity, health, and recovery over stigma and exclusion. Through partnership, awareness and community action, we can build safer, healthier and more resilient communities for everyone. #SupportDontPunish #EndDrugAbuse #HarmReduction
