Afghan female injecting drug user gets help

Waheeda, an Afghan mother of four started abusing drugs in her early twenties after she got married. With little access to information or help, she abused drugs for twelve years (through four pregnancies) before finally getting help at the Nejat Centre in Kabul which offers drug dependence treatment services. Since 2008, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) through its country office in Afghanistan has supported HIV services for some of the most marginalized women in the country - women drug abusers and women prisoners.

I wish people would quit calling themselves "addicts" when they are in need of the drugs when they are in pain to the point where sleeplessness and wracked with pain are all they know.

[@MaMa-uj4pp]

🤔Why?
This is exactly what addiction is!
The word addict is correct, what should change eminently is the stigma that people bring over addicted ones!!

So sad to be born into a life like this, it could have been me or you, I guess I feel lucky to be born into a rich nation it certainly could have gone the other way, that's why you should always be happy for what you have, even in the USA no one has to go hungry, I hear these stories which makes no sense considering all the place out there where one can get a free meal, unlike this place where the people are totally destitute.

Absolutely. Same here in England UK.

It is. So many without and so many with, the wealth isn't shared, people are greedy.

[@MaMa-uj4pp]

I would like to know how they was treated! With a substitution?
They don’t say this in the video…
Plus: it’s 2023 now and the Taliban are sadly back in power since nearly 2 years- I guess this precious help for these poor women and children is over now!😰
