Ahead of the 2023 International day against drug abuse and illicit trafficking, the Balm for the Bruised Foundation (BFBF), a non-governmental organization (NGO), is poised to host a webinar that connects like-minded individuals with a bias for Drug Demand Reduction and Mental Health in Africa especially amongst women.
In a circular seen by Radiojagaban, BFBF says:
“United Nation’s Office on Drugs and Crimes, UNODC, says 14.4 million Nigerians use drug and that one out of every four drug users in Nigeria is a woman.
“These women, sometimes owing to their situation, depend on drugs for survival but are often stigmatised by family members and society.
“Unfortunately, of these women, are widows who in search of comfort, acceptance or love take solace in drugs which invariably, affect not just them but their children as well.
“It is on this backdrop, that Balm for the Bruised Foundation, BFBF, is inviting you to this scheduled webinar on “The widow and the challenges of drug use stigmatization” in commemoration of the International day against drug abuse and illicit trafficking scheduled for Saturday 24th June, 2023 at 7pm WAT.”
