La conférence de presse avec le Ministre de la Santé du Canada Jean-Yves Duclos débute. Notre DG Ken Monteith est également présent. Les travailleuses du sexe sont au premier rang pour rappeler les enjeux essentiels de décriminalisation.
"We have a huge number of woman who are unhoused, or precariously housed, or maybe trading sex for a place to stay, which is ultimately quite unsafe.”
Thank you to @WISHvancouver for opening Canada's first ever 24/7 shelter for #SexWorkers.

Quelle belle mise en lumière du travail de @dopamine_info
et @Sidaamitie!
Ce film montre bien la différence énorme, pour la santé et le bien-être des personnes utilisatrices de drogues, que peut faire un accueil sans jugement.
Merci @conorashleigh ❤️

Annonce de HRI et ENPUD sur le décès d'une militante fondatrice d'ENPUD lors de la conférence de réduction des méfaits à Porto. Si même nos leaders ne sont pas safe, comment nos communautés peuvent-elles survivre? #solidarité
#HR19@drcarlhart ends with a call to end "academic masturbation". Unfortunately, many were guilty of that at this conference. Feel free to tag anyone you found particularly egregious and let @HRInews how you expect them to screen for that when calling for abstracts.
#HR19@drcarlhart "If you want to be down, you have an obligation to disobey unjust laws"
Every doctor needs to hear that as "start prescribing drugs to people".
Every social worker, academic and policymaker needs to hear it as "start finding ways to disrupt arrests/trials"
#HR19
Présentation Stella et @dopamine_info, discussion autour du concept de la "piaule" comme pilier de nos communautés, comme endroit qui répond à des besoins essentiels et des endroits qui ne seront jamais remplacés par des services sociaux.
#HR19
"Although it can impact people from all walks of life, it is poor and marginalized people, Indigenous and people of colour who are dying. If rich people were dying, the response would be very different."

#HR19
"We cannot rely on small scale safe supply pilot projects that won't reach people equitably. Everything doesn't need to be a research project."
-@ZoeDodd
@GovHealthCanada must make drugs available for everyone who needs them, to ensure long term funding and security for OPS
A wave of right wing backlash threatens to crash across Canada and stall any progress on the overdose crisis. These #HR19 delegates are organizing the defence of Canadian #harmreduction from a Porto basement
#HR19
Canadian meeting in progress with the huge Canadian delegation, talking about how we're all fucked with these right-wing governments. The absence of @CAPUD2016 is noted by all. We have a responsibility to ensure they can come to these things.
#HR19@BadcockDavid says banning research on schedule 1 drugs is the worst censorship of research since the Catholic Church banned the telescope.
Dramatic words that ignore how research has always been oppressive to marginalized people, but good point nonetheless.
