Venezuela knows how much drug abuse hurts individuals and families, especially in communities struggling with poverty. Being a country that’s often used to move illegal drugs, Venezuela has dealt with growing problems like violence, corruption, and weakened communities. To fight substance abuse, Venezuela believes it’s important to take strong action at home and to work closely with other countries.
In Venezuela, substance abuse is worsened by a lack of mental health services, economic hardships, and the influence of drug trafficking networks. Young people are especially vulnerable. The country also struggles to provide enough healthcare and resources to prevent and treat addiction. Venezuela believes this issue should be seen as a public health problem, not just a criminal one.
Venezuela is focused on improving education and prevention programs to help people understand the dangers of drug use. Raising awareness through public campaigns and making treatment and rehab more accessible are top priorities. The country also believes in supporting people recovering from addiction by helping them get an education and find jobs so they can rebuild their lives.
Venezuela believes it’s important to work with neighboring countries to fight drug trafficking. This includes sharing information, strengthening border security, and coordinating efforts to stop the flow of illegal drugs. Venezuela is also focused on tackling organized crime and corruption, which play a big role in driving the drug trade and hurting communities. By focusing on education, prevention, and treatment instead of punishment can help create safer and healthier communities. Venezuela is dedicated to doing its part and working with other countries to address substance abuse.
