LEAHN’s Alex Zelitchenko hosts law enforcement and civil society workshop in Kazakhstan

 

On the 8th and 9th of December, 2014, LEAHN Regional Co-ordinator Alex Zelitchenko facilitated a workshop in Almaty, Kazakhstan on ‘Enhancing Partnerships between Law Enforcement and Civil Society Organizations in the context of Drug Use and HIV’.

The workshop was guided by three main objectives as follows:

1)    To sensitise law enforcement officials about harm reduction services in the context of HIV and how law enforcement practices can influence (positively or negatively), the access of people who use drugs to harm reduction services;

2)    To build capacity of the CSOs to advocate with LEAs to ensure greater access of people who used drugs to harm reduction services;

3)    To create a space for LEAs and CSOs to share respective positions, concerns and ideas for enhancing future collaboration.
