The Global State of Harm Reduction 2012 presents the major developments in harm reduction policy adoption and programme implementation that have occurred since 2010. It also explores key issues for developing an integrated harm reduction response, such as building effective harm reduction services for women, access to harm reduction services by young people (co-authored by Youth RISE), drug use among msm, global progress toward drug decriminalisation and sustainability of services in challenging environments.

 

This report, and other global state of harm reduction resources, are designed to provide reference tools for a wide range of audiences, such as international donor organisations, multilateral and bilateral agencies, civil society and non-governmental organisations, including organisations of people who use drugs, as well as researchers and the media.
