United Nations Drugs Day

The slogan of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) anti-drugs campaign to be launched on 26 June, the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, is "Do drugs control your life? Your life. Your community. No place for drugs." The slogan will be used for three years and focus on different aspects of drug control: drug abuse in 2007, drug cultivation and production in 2008, and illicit drug trafficking in 2009.

With this campaign, UNODC aims to raise awareness of the major problem that illicit drugs represent to society. The campaign's goal is to inspire people and mobilise support for drug control. The proposed overarching campaign and the generic slogan are flexible. For example, variations on the slogan could be used to suit different contexts.

Drugsline launches new poster campaign

Drugsline, an independent drugs charity, has launched a new poster campaign aimed at drug and alcohol users, affected family members and young people.

The launch takes place as part of United Nations International Day against Drugs (26th June) and during National Misuse & Addictions Week (23rd-30th June).

Posters will be distributed to GP surgeries, pharmacists, libraries, schools, community groups and other service providers across London.
