On the occasion of the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, observed annually on June 26, the Afro Arab Youth Council emphasizes the importance of strengthening international and regional efforts to combat drug abuse and reduce its harmful impact on individuals and communities.
The Council highlights that drug abuse remains one of the most serious challenges threatening social, health, and economic security, particularly among young people, due to its direct impact on mental and physical health, education, productivity, and community stability.
The Council stresses that prevention begins with awareness, and that investing in education, awareness campaigns, and safe supportive environments for youth is essential to reducing the spread of drug abuse and empowering young people to make responsible decisions that protect their future.
The Afro Arab Youth Council also calls for stronger partnerships among governments, educational institutions, civil society organizations, and youth bodies to develop effective awareness, prevention, and rehabilitation programs.
The Council reaffirms its commitment to supporting initiatives and programs aimed at empowering youth, promoting public awareness, and contributing to safer, healthier, and more stable societies.
