President @CyrilRamaphosa of @GovernmentZA has integrated alcohol policy into a new national 90-day action plan to address gender-based violence and femicide following a series of killings.
#DYK about this?
The four-point strategy combines case recoveries, forensic backlog afety audits, and improved enforcement against non-compliant liquor outlets, recognizing that addressing alcohol use and availability is essential to protecting women and communities from violence.

"Preventing FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) Is Possible and a Human Rights Priority but Big Alcohol Stands in the Way of Governments Protecting Children"!!! - Kristina Sperkova @Movendi_Int .
In her column for International FASD Awareness Day, @Movendi_Int President ins why FASD is one of the clearest examples of the social dimension of alcohol harm, and why protecting children from it is a human rights issue that belongs on every government’s agenda.
She also exposes how the alcohol industry blocks the protection of children by manufacturing doubt, derailing proven policy measures, and delaying warning labels.

No right answers. No judgment. Just a moment to check in with yourself.

Real recovery is #possible. 💙
Addiction may convince you that change is impossible, that you've gone too far. But every day, people choose recovery, rebuild relationships, rediscover purpose, and reclaim their lives.
