On Human Rights Day, December 10, the powerful voices of the Istanbul Initiative addressed a vital question: Why are prevention and recovery human rights?

By protecting individuals from addiction and empowering them with support, dignity, and resilience, prevention and recovery are essential to building healthier and safer societies.
