Say Yes to Life, No to Drugs Campaign
Participate with us to Face the Phenomenon of Drug Use through the “Say Yes to Life, No to Drugs “Campaign
Drug addiction remains one of the greatest challenges facing youth across Iraq and the Kurdistan Region. The government’s duty is taking measures to curb the trade but grassroots awareness campaigns are vital.
Kurdistan Save the Children announced an awareness campaign titled “Say Yes to Life, No to Drugs” to encourage youth and teenagers to stay away from the dangers of drug use. At the start of the campaign, we held a marathon for everyone on March 9th, 2024, in Slemani. Several meetings, panels, and seminars will be held and two television spots have been produced to be broadcast on social networks to reach as many young people as possible.
The Campaigns Objectives:
Raise Awareness: increase awareness and knowledge of the Youths and Community for the potential health, social, and legal consequences of illicit drug use, and educate Iraq and Kurdistan Region’s Youth to reject illegal drugs.
Advocate for Investment: Advocate for greater investment in governmental and non-governmental stakeholders, the media, and law enforcement professionals to participate and emphasize the benefits of early efforts to raise awareness among the community about the phenomenon of drug use and to take preventive measures.
Empower Youth: Empower youth with the knowledge, skills, and resources to become agents of change in their communities, advocate for drug prevention initiatives, and amplify their voices in the conversation.
