Reducing the harm caused by alcohol use in our communities, promoting public health & advocating for effective alcohol policies in #Zimbabwe.

A recent report titled “Mental health Among Young people in the African Region” by @WHOAFRO raises a concerning statistic. #Zimbabwe has the highest number of 15 to 19 year olds who engage in heavy episodic drinking. @MoHCCZim @ParliamentZim @WHO_Zimbabwe

🔵The re-introduction of breathalysers is being overshadowed by an outdated legal blood-alcohol limit and a weak policy framework, the Southern African Alcohol Policy Alliance in Zimbabwe has warned.

📸 The ZRP is getting new armour in its fight against bad driving: breathalysers. Transport minister Felix Mhona will today handover the gadgets to police in Harare. Breathalysers to catch out drink drivers will be deployed at police checkpoints starting this festive season

[SAAPA Zimbabwe @SAAPA_Zimbabwe]

The handover of breathalysers and speed trap equipment is a bold and positive step one that needs to be anchored in a comprehensive, up-to-date alcohol policy.

Reducing alcohol outlets density is not just a public health issue, it is a social justice imperative. Women and children deserve to live in communities free from the threat of alcohol-fueled violence. #16DaysOfActivism #EndGBV #RoadSafety
