Annual Report 2011 Youth Rise 2

Youth RISE is...

Youth RISE (Resource. Informaon. Support. Educaon) is an internaonal,

youth-led organisaon of young people commied to confronng the reality

that young people today live in a world where drugs are more accessible on

the street than the educaon and resources needed to reduce their harm.

Current drug policies focused on prevenon ignore the reality that some

young people around the world use drugs for a variety of reasons, and they

are geng sick, being incarcerated, and too oen being shunned from society.

This is unacceptable. Youth RISE aims to raise-up the voices of young people

aected by drug policy, those who use drugs and those who seek to empower

them.

Annual Report 2011

A message from the Coordinators:

There were a number of notable achievements for Youth RISE in 2011. In the area of governance, Youth RISE became

an independent enty, signifying Youth RISEs connued growth and success over the past years. We also appointed

our rst Board of Directors and redened our structure, further solidifying Youth RISE as a network and ensuring

we remain accountable to our constuencies. This increased stability allows Youth RISE to connue building our

movement for change. This new organizaonal status has been accompanied by a revamp of our visual identy with

the launch of a new logo and website.

In 2011, Youth RISE also engaged in a greater diversity of acvies, deepening our naonal and regional presence. The

Internaonal Working Group (IWG), which consists of a diverse group of skilled young people from Albania, Canada,Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Nepal, Nigeria and Uganda, were instrumental in our project development and implementaon.

Acvies have ranged from grassroots peer-to-peer harm reducon training to engagement in internaonal drug

policy dialogues.

As we look back on 2011, we are also looking forward to an excing 2012. We look to engaging more young people

in the movement and raising awareness of the importance of drug policy and how it impacts so many lives. We know

that the future of drug policy reform and eecve responses to drug use lies in our youth. The young drug policy

reform and harm reducon acvists of Youth RISE connue to demonstrate commitment and acon, and amaze and

inspire us.This should give us all condence in a future for more humane drug policy.

In April 2011, the Youth RISE team had a two day strategic planning meeng with parcipaon of all sta and IWG

members. The meeng was important for seng the future course for Youth RISE as we redened our mission and

vision, and idened our strategic focus for the next 3 years.

Mission & Vision

Youth RISE is a youth-led network promong evidence based drug policies and harm reducon strategies with the

meaningful involvement of young people who use drugs and are aected by drug polices.

Youth RISE envisions a world where society responds to drug use among young people through humane and evidence

based policy and pracce.

Strategic objecves

During the strategic planning meeng, Youth RISE idened six key strategic objecves:

1. Increase public awareness on the ineecveness of current drug policies, in parcular the

adverse impacts of drug policies on young people;2. Mobilise, engage, and facilitate youth involvement in the drug policy reform movement;

3. Facilitate engagement of young people who use drugs and ensure their voices are heard at all

levels;

4. Promote evidence based harm reducon intervenons for young people who use drugs;

5. Engage in targeted regional, naonal and issue related advocacy;

6. Increase evidence to support advocacy and inform an eecve response.

Governance

An important goal for Youth RISE in 2011 was to improve our organisaonal independence and strength. We progressed

in a number of important areas, developing and solidifying our organisaonal structure and presence.Our rst Board

of Directors was created, increasing our accountability and improving our instuonal strength. The Board will becrical in providing oversight and ensuring Youth RISE is fullling its mission.

Our Board of Directors are:Directors are:Niamh Eastwood, Execuve Director, Release

Damon Barre, Senior Human Rights Analyst, Harm Reducon Internaonal

Caitlin Padge, Independent Consultant and co-founder of Youth RISE

Aram Barra, Drug Policy Programme Director, Espolea

Youth RISE has been hosted by Release since 2009, an organisaon which has given us guidance and support and with

whom we have built a strong partnership. In order to connue our growth, build on our successes and strengthen

our presence and work, Youth RISE ocially registered as an independent organisaon in the United Kingdom in

September 2011.

In addion, Youth RISE has also worked towards reviewing, redening and strengthening its network structure. The

network has now opened up for organisaonal membership thus improving its ability to develop strategic partnerships

and share resources with other local, naonal and internaonal organisaons working on drug policy and youth issues.

Clear criteria and applicaon processes have been developed for individual and organisaonal membership and we

have formalised memberships and partnerships with number of organisaons working in the eld.

My experience with Youth RISE has been awesome. Its excing working with young brilliant minds who are

ready to stop at nothing in promong social change on issues that aect their lives and that of their peers.

More importantly I have learnt and seen in Youth RISE that young people can do much more when given theopportunity - Adeolu Ogunrombi, IWG, Nigeria

Youth RISE pre-conference

On March 31st to April 2nd, Youth RISE held its rst pre-conference immediately prior to the Internaonal Harm

Reducon Conference in Beirut. The pre-conference

brought together young harm reducon and drug policy

reform acvists from around the world and a space was

created for young people to build and share knowledge,

and to discuss and debate important topics relevant to

young people who use drugs globally. The pre-conference

On the third day of the pre-conference, parcipants

reected on the major issues addressed at the

conference, and brainstormed key needs of young people

concerning drug policy, harm reducon, parcipaon of

young people and human rights. From these discussions,

a posion statement was developed which reects the

issues of importance for young people who use drugs,

and recommendaons for a policy response that is crucial

for their well being.

Regional acvies

A primary objecve of Youth RISE has been to strengthen our regional acvies and work, and in 2011 we were

successful in developing our regional presence and engaging in a broader range of acvies at local, naonal and

regional levels.

Africa

Youth RISE connued to expand its acvies and presence in the African region in 2011. Senior IWG member Adeolu

Ogunrombi (Nigeria) and IWG member Eric Ojok (Uganda) provided leadership for the growth of the Youth RISE

network in Africa and development and implementaon of projects. They also parcipated in a number of important

events, ensuring that young people who use drugs issues and concerns were heard in regional dialogues.

Conference in Maurius. She networked with other conference parcipants learning more about the situaon of drug

use and harm reducon in East Africa, and delivered a presentaon on harm reducon for young people who use

drugs. Whilst in Maurius aending the conference, Youth RISE was also invited to facilitate a workshop on youth

friendly harm reducon. Harm reducon has been introduced to Maurius only recently, and age restricons sll

remain for youth, despite the clear need for harm reducon as more young people inject heroin and subutex.

In partnership with local harm reducon organisaons PILS and CUT, a one day workshop was organised in which 30

local service providers parcipated. The workshop consisted of training on youth friendly harm reducon approaches

and idencaon of advocacy needs in the country. The parcipants decided to develop a naonal network to address

the needs of young people who use drugs in Maurius, and have since met to idenfy inial acvies for 2012.

Youth RISE Up! For HIV Prevenon

The RISE Up! For HIV prevenon project is funded by MTV Staying Alive Foundaon, and connued into its third year

in 2011. Country teams carried out peer to peer trainings with marginalised youth in Nigeria and young men who use

drugs and young women in prison in Lebanon. The teams also developed supplementary materials on challenging

myths around drug use and overdose prevenon in order to ensure we are providing resources that are applicable to

a wide range of regions, cultures, contexts and issues.

The Young peer trainers guide to provide sexual health and drug-related harm reducon educaon that was

released in 2010 was also translated into Arabic and Russian in 2011.

Raising awareness

Overdose Awareness Day

On Internaonal Overdose Prevenon Awareness Day, 31st August, Youth RISE members globally marked the day

with an online vigil to remember the people who have died as a result of drug overdose. The network developed ayouth friendly resource on overdose prevenon that was shared with our members and partners through dierent

communicaon channels. Youth RISE members inNepaland Lebanon also organised local acvies to raise awareness

about drug overdose in their countries.

World AIDS Day

On World AIDS Day, Youth RISE released a short animaon video that highlights the vulnerability of young people who

use drugs to HIV and soluons for migang the spread of HIV among these youth. The video highlights in parcular

the harms of current drug policies and how criminalisaon of drug use can impact on HIV transmission rates. The

video received excellent feedback from those within and out of the drug policy eld, and was shared widely on social

media networks. You can see the video here:

Youth RISE has become my family in a way--it is a great hub for resources on harm reducon, for networking,

for advocacy on a global level. But, most important, it really does empower so many young people to voice their

opinions on drug policy and eventually to act! Thanks to Youth RISE, we were able to mobilize young people who

use drugs in Kyrgyzstan who are very movated to provide informaon on harm reducon for youth in a youth-

friendly way and do even more in years to come to build a stronger social movement. I think of Youth RISE as arevoluonary force that I am excited to be part of! - Zulaika Esentaeva, Youth RISE IWG, Kyrgyzstan

Brieng papers

During Youth RISEs pre-conference in Beirut, a set of formal recommendaons were developed on four separate

themes that are central to the work of Youth RISE. These themes were then developed into four brieng papers: Harm

reducon and young people, Criminalisaon and law enforcement, Parcipaon of young people who use drugs,

Human rights, drug policy, and young people who use drugs.

Looking ahead

As a newly independent organisaon, Youth RISE is now looking forward to building a stronger base and further

developing our capacity in 2012. We also hope to build o our newly established organisaonal membership structure

and strengthen partnerships with youth organisaons that align with our mission and goals.

Whilst maintaining our presence in internaonal forums, we also aim to develop and strengthen regional and naonal

networks. Youth RISE will connue to support networks and groups of young people in their countries, including

mobilisaon of young user groups and those advocang for drug policy reform. For our local, naonal and regional

work, IWGs will connue to play a crucial role. Advocacy will also connue to be a strong focus, and as we connue

develop our communicaons our advocacy eorts will use creave mediums and become more targeted. We will also

develop our take acon and campaigns work, mobilising our membership to take acon in the reform movement.

We also plan to further develop our technical experse in harm reducon for young people and drug policy, ensuring

that our sta, IWGs and membership are experts and are at the forefront of the eld. We aim to develop more

standardised guidelines for service providers on youth friendly harm reducon, as well as develop further evidence

and resources that promote harm reducon and drug policy reform.

Finally, we will connue to expand our network, engaging and policising a new generaon of young people in the

drug policy reform movement. In order for Youth RISE to be sustainable, and for our future leaders to be informed

on raonal drug policy, younger people must connue to be engaged. And that requires connued and innovave

eorts.
