MdM has been working to promote the concept of harm
reduction to policy makers and national partners. The drop in center (DIC)
serves as a safe space for users and offers screening for infectious diseases,
new syringes, basic first aid, and prevention services. The center provides
educational sessions once a week for women drug users who are at high risk of
HIV transmission. MdM also targets at-risk groups with a mobile unit that
provides prevention services, information about the DIC, and sterile needles.
This program also provides audiovisual training, which enables those who are
stigmatized to rebuild their identity and partake in the community effort of
harm reduction. Above all else, the aim of the program is to allow those who
have been stigmatized to regain their voice and build self-esteem. Several days
have been dedicated to raising awareness in the community and encouraging
support from volunteers.
