World Drug Day: A Global Call to Action
Each year on June 26, the world comes together to observe World Drug Day, officially known as the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1987, this day aims to raise awareness about the major problem that illicit drugs represent to society and to promote a drug-free world.
The theme for World Drug Day changes annually, focusing on various aspects of drug prevention, treatment, and control. It encourages governments, organizations, and individuals to take part in activities and campaigns that promote healthier lifestyles and support those affected by drug abuse.
On this day, we are reminded of the importance of education, outreach, and the development of policies that support rehabilitation and recovery. By working together, we can combat the scourge of drug abuse and pave the way for a safer, healthier future for everyone. Join the global movement and take a stand against drug abuse today.
