Kenya’s high conviction rate of prisoners, mainly the youth, for drug related offences will be in the spotlight today as the world mark’s this year’s International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
This year’s celebration is themed "Listen First - Listening to children and youth is the first step to help them grow healthy and safe" and targets to increase support for prevention of drug use that is based on science and is thus an effective investment in the well-being of children and youth, their families and their communities.
