Harm Reduction International is a leading non-governmental organisation working to promote and expand support for harm reduction. With over 8, 000 members worldwide, Harm Reduction International is the largest membership-based global harm reduction association.

We work to reduce the negative health, social and human rights impacts of drug use and drug policy – such as the increased vulnerability to HIV and hepatitis infection among people who inject drugs – by promoting evidence-based public health policies and practices, and human rights based approaches to drug policy.

We are an influential global source of research, policy /legal analysis and advocacy on drug use, health and human rights issues.
