Safe ka Sa Labas – Safe ka sa Pinas: Harm Reduction Revolution

To raise awareness about harm reduction practices and their transformative potential, the podcast Safe Ka sa Labas, Safe Ka sa Pinas: Harm Reduction Revolution, takes the spotlight to enlighten harm reduction’s profound impact on individuals and communities in everyday life.

With the eye-opening insights from the host Justin Tumang and the special guest Karen Bordador, the podcast emphasizes the power of community engagement, collective action, and grassroots initiatives in building resilience to embrace harm reduction practices and transform neighborhoods into safer spaces.

Watch the full podcast starting 18 October, 10:00 AM https://tinyurl.com/bde3zsn5

Harm reduction aims to mitigate the negative effects of harmful habits such as smoking, alcohol consumption, overeating, and risky sexual behaviors. The host points out that these habits take a significant toll on people, communities, and the environment. That is why it is essential to find ways to enjoy these activities without compromising one’s well-being.

Safe ka Sa Labas – Safe ka sa Pinas also highlights the existence of programs and policies in the Philippines related to harm reduction, particularly in the context of tobacco use. Despite the government’s initiatives to control tobacco use, the presence of misinformation, limited resources, and discrimination poses challenges to these efforts. The conversation touches upon the potential impact of early intervention programs, education about addiction and substance abuse in schools, and policies in the Philippines to promote harm reduction practices.

A key moment in the episode features the special guest, Ms. Karen Bordador, who shares her journey of transformation and resilience after experiencing the negative consequences of drug accusations and wrongful allegations that led to her time in prison. Her compelling story illustrates the importance of community support, vigilance, and awareness of harm reduction practices and rights. Karen’s journey serves as a source of inspiration for others seeking to overcome adversities through the support of their community/peers.

Safe ka Sa Labas – Safe ka sa Pinas: Harm Reduction Revolution Podcast is an initiative of the Asia Harm Reduction Forum (AHRF) that advocates for harm reduction principles in health policies and programs across Asia. AHRF is at the forefront of pioneering global health equity and saving lives through the powerful catalysts of science, policy, public health, and reason.

With this podcast, the AHRF hopes to amplify the importance of sharing knowledge, supporting initiatives, educating friends and family, and taking the first steps toward harm reduction. AHRF encourages everyone to get involved and play a role in building a safer and healthier community.

The Asia Harm Reduction Forum (AHRF) is set to host its flagship event in the Philippines on October 19, 2023, at the Manila Hotel from 9 AM to 5 PM. This gathering will bring together various advocates from across Asia to discuss pivotal issues and solutions surrounding harm reduction. The forum aims to achieve essential objectives, including the amplification of awareness about the Harm Reduction Movement, the integration of AHRF into harm reduction discussions and practices, and the mobilization of the community in anticipation of the AHRF Bill’s implementation.
