VIDEO: At 2:22:57, @mainez_ Feria of @NoBoxT lays out the "drug problem" in the Philippines and why authorities have been going about "solving" it the wrong way -- with catastrophic consequences for drug users and their human rights. Most people who use drugs, Inez points out, are harmless, not a threat to their community, and don't need treatment or intervention. So why, she asks, are authorities treating them like a scourge? "We all know it's never about the drugs -- it's always about people." #PHDrugPolicySummit2024 facebook.com/uplawofficial/v…

“Treat, don’t punish.” But what if treatment punishes? Most treatment for drug use has more in common with incarceration than with care. Join “Treatment, or Trap?” a #UNODC #CND67 side event to define what sound, ethical care should be. Tomorrow on Zoom: tiny.cc/treatortrap
