Drug Victims Remembrance Day
The significance of this day is to remember the victims of drugs by creating awareness of how family and society, apart from the abusers, are harmed by drugs.
Drug Victims Remembrance Day is observed on the third Friday of May every year, to acknowledge the harms caused by drug abuse, and remember the victims who have been harmed by neglect, abuse or violence.
Let’s come together and do our part to support the anti-drug cause, remembering that drug abuse is not victimless – it affects not only the abuser, but their loved ones as well.
Remember Us
Our campaign films explore the painful memories that haunt the victims of drug abuse. Watch how drug abuse has taken their happiest moments and turned them into something else entirely.
