The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sanpud.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">South African Network of People who Use Drugs<\/a>, supported by the non-governmental organisation <a href=\"https:\/\/bhivcare.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TB HIV Care<\/a>, tirelessly campaigns for the humanisation of people who use drugs. They managed to change the aim of the South African drug strategy to focus on providing support for problematic drug use, rather than creating a drug free society. People who use drugs are consulted when developing the country&#8217;s drug strategy. Their advocacy for visible policing resulted in fewer arbitrary arrests, and the South African Police Services stopped the use of quota systems, which required a certain number of drug users to be arrested. There is still a lot to do to end the criminalisation of people who use drugs, and to end the racial injustice and discrimination of women, which are widespread in the country. Watch the film featuring <strong>Angela McBride<\/strong>, <strong>Nelson Medeiros<\/strong>, and <strong>Shaun Shelly<\/strong> of SANPUD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\">Disclaimer: SANPUD believes in representativity and diversity. This film features three of the four founders and does not reflect the current diversity of the board, staff, or membership of SANPUD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting on Monday, 6th of July 2020, we publish one episode per week for 10 weeks. The episodes follow the timeline of the development of the movement of people who use drugs from Amsterdam to Afghanistan and globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The production of the series has been a great adventure.
