International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking

International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, observed annually on June 26th, serves as a platform to address the pervasive global issues of drug abuse and illicit drug trafficking. Established by the United Nations, this day aims to raise awareness about the harmful effects of drug abuse on individuals, families, and communities worldwide. It also emphasizes the importance of prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation initiatives to combat drug addiction and reduce the demand for illicit drugs. Additionally, the day underscores the need for international cooperation and concerted efforts to combat drug trafficking networks, disrupt illicit supply chains, and promote law enforcement measures to safeguard societies from the negative impacts of drug-related crimes.
