Want to learn more about Japan's approach to #drugpolicy and #harmreduction? The Japan Advocacy Network for Drug Policy has kindly made our co-authored briefing paper, ⽇本における薬物使⽤と規制, available in English & Japanese!
Despite intn'l commitments on #harmreduction, Japan's approach to people who use drugs continues to prioritise intolerance and punishment. People with lived experience, their families and allies are building a movement for change. #SupportDontPunish idpc.net/publications/2020/0…

Thanks to @Harvard 's Michelle Nicholasen for doing this piece about my work and recent @OUPPolitics #BorderlandBattles book! @OxfordCCW @Politics_Oxford @DSDProgram @PembrokeOxford
It's hard to plan ahead when your future is insecure. @AnnetteIdler describes life at the Colombian border, where the state is weak and armed groups govern. Living day to day is eerily resonant to life in the time of #COVID19. Read Part 1 on Epicenter: ow.ly/oFmd50z4LM5
