YouthRISE finds it important to engage with young people who use drugs when discussing harm reduction or drug policy reform. This is particularly because young people, and particularly young people from marginalized backgrounds, are more likely to engage in risky drug-taking and sexual activity that may lead to a number of harms. Young people are often discriminated against by law enforcement, and young people who use drugs are often discriminated against in wider society. We aim to mobilize youth from across the world by involving global youth leaders in our endeavours and creating initiative groups with the aim of reaching a wide number of young people who would previously have not been engaged in drug policy advocacy or harm reduction... YouthRISE builds capacity in two distinct ways. We focus specifically on young people, across the globe, from a variety of different backgrounds to enable people who may not previously have had access to crucial resources and harm reduction..
