Welcome to Drugreporter!<\/h2>\n

Drugreporter is the drug policy website of the Rights Reporter Foundation<\/a>. The website was created in 2004 to promote drug policy reform advocacy in the region. In 2007 we started our video advocacy program and our website has become an international hub for English and Russian<\/a> language news articles, blogs and films about harm reduction and drug policy reform. Our film database <\/a>contains hundreds of short films aiming at educating and mobilising people. We cooperate with NGOs from several European countries in the framework of our European Drug Policy Initiative<\/a> (EDPI) to raise awareness on evidence and human rigts based drug policies.<\/p>\n

The website is funded by the Open Society Foundation<\/a> and the Commonsense Drug Policy Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n
