LOS ANGELES, Calif., Aug. 3, 2024 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs has granted the Foundation for a Drug-Free World consultative status to the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). This new status enables the Foundation to share decades of experience and expertise with those most dedicated to implementing effective drug prevention. Drug-Free World can now organize conferences and participate in events at the UN in Geneva, Vienna and New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of all Drug-Free World chapters and millions of drug-prevention volunteers in countries around the world, we would like to express our appreciation for this recognition,\u201d said Foundation for a Drug-Free World Executive Director Jessica Hochman. \u201cWe pledge to not only continue our commitment but to redouble our efforts to bring about a drug-free world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each June, the UN issues its annual World Drug Report<\/a> along with a theme for the year\u2019s activities. This year\u2019s message aligns exactly with the purpose and activities of the Foundation and its acclaimed drug education materials: \u201cThe evidence is clear: invest in prevention.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe congratulate the Foundation for a Drug-Free World International and its volunteers, partners and supporters,\u201d said Olivia McDuff of the Church of Scientology International Public Affairs Office.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the support of Churches of Scientology and Scientologists<\/a>, the Foundation makes these acclaimed secular materials and programs available free of charge.<\/p>\n

For decades, Scientologists have engaged in drug education and prevention in their communities, inspired by humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, who wrote, \u201cResearch has demonstrated that the single most destructive element present in our current culture is drugs.\u201d<\/p>\n
