International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, observed annually on June 26th, aims to raise awareness about the global drug problem and promote efforts to combat drug abuse and illicit drug trade. Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1987, this day underscores the need for international cooperation to address drug-related challenges. It highlights the impact of drug abuse on health, safety, and development, and promotes a drug-free world through education, community involvement, and policy advocacy. The day often features events, campaigns, and educational programs to inform the public and support those affected by drug abuse.
