    International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking

    अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय लागू पदार्थ तथा अवैध तस्करी विरुद्ध दिवस

    Exclusive audio

    This year aims in expanding the understanding of drug problems worldwide and advocating for global cooperation for countering its impact on all three sectors of governance, security, and public health.It’s a key lath on the united nations war on drugs and drug trafficking, marking the early efforts of China to combat the opium trade. This step is widely regarded as the first international effort to control drug trafficking, starting with international war on drugs.

    Why do you think youth start using drugs?

    The decision to observe June 26 of each year as the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking is mentioned in section 112 of 42 of the 1987 United Nations Declaration. The sole purpose of this day is to free the world community from the effects of drugs and trafficking.

    The International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking 2025 carries the slogan "Breaking the Chains: Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery."This slogan emphasizes the need to break the cycle of drug abuse and illegal trafficking. It highlights three key areas — Prevention, to stop people from falling into addiction; Treatment, to help those already struggling with substance abuse; and Recovery, to reintegrate individuals back into society with dignity.


    Statistics of drug abuse

    Psychologists say that most drug users and traffickers in the world are young because people at this age are at high risk and in a fluid state.The desire to make a lot of money in a short period and drug addiction is putting more and more young people at risk of drug abuse and trafficking. Over the past century, drug trafficking has multiplied, with unbalanced drug use alone killing 190,000 people each year, and the number of people abusing it is uncertain.

    Due to open borders (India) and its direct impact, Nepal is not immune to this problem. Drug trafficking is sure to lead to crime and chaos, as well as the spread of various diseases such as HIV and hepatitis.


    Post hippie regime of Nepal

    Drug trafficking and use in Nepal has been on the rise since the post-1960 hippie regime, with unauthorized cultivation and use of marijuana and easy imports from India, as well as weak state regulation. On the other hand, the number of people buying and injecting various drugs using the medicine and medical papers is also increasing in Nepal, which is a very serious thing.

    The administration seems to be almost silent even when street children are openly sniffing dendrites, we need more practical and sustainable solutions to it. Commercially opened drug rehabilitation centers in various cities of Nepal and their commercial success is explaining our real situation.


    On this special day, International Day Against Drugs and Illicit Trafficking, the Nepali government, community, and stakeholders need to work hand in hand on this issue.

    Hamro Patro - Connecting Nepali Communities
    Hamro Patro is one of the first Nepali app to include Nepali Patro, launched in 2010. We started with a Nepali Calendar mobile app to help Nepalese living abroad stay in touch with Nepalese festivals and important dates in Nepali calendar year. Later on, to cater to the people who couldn’t type in Nepali using fonts like Preeti, Ganesh and even Nepali Unicode, we built nepali mobile keyboard called Hamro Nepali keyboard.
