🧵A THREAD 🧵
1) I've been doing harm reduction work for 15 years and I've learned a few lessons about how to talk about it with people who aren't quite there yet.

#HarmReduction can save lives - but only if attention is paid to the individual needs of #drug users.

#Women use drugs differently, and can suffer from other consequences than men. Check out & share our newest infographic on why Harm Reduction needs to be #gender-sensitive! ♀️
