Ust’-Kamenogorsk, Kazakhstan – 2021
Leading organisation: Форум ЛУН Казахстан (Forum LUN Kazakhstan)
People who use drugs activists in Kazakhstan, from Karaganda, Temirtau, Taraz, Ust-Kamenogorsk, Pavlodar, Almaty, Saran and Balkhash, prepared and published 14 short videos and 7 social media posts, drawing the attention of a wide audience of Internet users. The content included personal stories, interviews with health professionals and representatives of partner organizations, outreach workers, people who use drugs.
For the first time, we decided to roll out our campaign via Instagram reaching diverse audiences, those people who are far from thinking of drug policy issues or about what kind of support is needed. But these people left positive feedback that it’s very right that we talk about important things, they thanked people who wrote posts and recorded videos, for courage, honesty, and fortitude.
