A national drug policy must begin with people — their lives, their struggles, their families, and their capacity to heal.
As advocates, we carry a responsibility far greater than raising issues.
We must bring evidence, experience, and truth from the ground into the policy conversation.
When science, compassion, and lived reality come together, policy becomes more than a document — it becomes a national commitment to dignity, prevention, treatment, and recovery.
Reform is meaningful only when it changes lives.
And that change begins when we listen deeply, act with integrity, and ensure that no one is left behind.
This is how advocacy becomes impact.
This is how a nation moves forward — with humanity at its centre.
