STRATEGIC PLAN

Our strategic plan guides our work across health, rights and the Harm Reduction International conference, contributing to the broader harm reduction and drug policy reform movements.

We are committed to centring equity across our work and highlighting the negative impact of criminalisation and the compounding effects of intersectional vulnerabilities, specifically how drug policy interacts with gender, ethnicity, race, poverty and socioeconomic status.
