Our new movie shows how harm reduction breaks taboos and moves drug policy in a good direction in Lebanon!<\/p>\n

When we speak about injecting drug use and HIV, we rarely pay any attention to the Middle-East. But if you think that injecting drug use is not prevalent in these countries and young people have no access to heroin or amphetamine \u2013 you are very wrong. Harm Reduction International<\/a> \u2013 the former IHRA \u2013 recognized the gap between the picture painted by governments and the reality of the streets when it decided to organize its latest international harm reduction conference in Beirut, Lebanon in April 2011. Our filming crew was there to explore this gap too. We interviewed drug users, professionals and researchers; please watch and share the movie!<\/p>\n
