Harm Reduction News: Twenty Years and Now Advocacy
This issue of Harm Reduction News highlights different program areas of IHRD's policy initiative. IHRD’s support for drug users’ self-help groups, for instance, is highlighted in the article by the Russian group Kolodets. Judit Fridli speaks eloquently on civil rights and legal support for drug users, another area of IHRD program activity. The reason IHRD supports conference participation is made brilliantly clear by Andriy Mykytyn’s article on his response to a methadone conference he attended. Study tours have improved the work of a Lithuanian drug users’ group whose existence was inspired by the Central and Eastern European Harm Reduction Network (CEEHRN). Police training has helped make running a harm reduction bus in St. Petersburg more smooth. The sex workers who visit that bus demonstrate the importance of special advocacy on their behalf. The pair of articles on CEEHRN and public relations point out the importance of good communications and media strategies. And the pair of articles—Advocacy Tools—on research techniques appropriate to the disease and to the region demonstrate IHRD’s support of law and policy research and innovative methodologies that assess and respond to HIV/AIDS.
