As the State peak body representing the interests of people who use illicit drugs in Victoria, VIVAIDS is developing “Organisational Positions” on issues affecting the health and human rights of Victorians who use illicit drugs. These policy documents will be practical advocacy tools, useful in establishing a framework for media releases and organisational responses to government policies and strategies, and in undertaking partnership activities with key stakeholders.
Currently we are working on a particular policy document that will outline VIVAIDS’ position in relation to access of disposal services for used injecting equipment. If you can provide any reponse to the following questions relating to injecting at raves/clubs, it would be most appreciated.
1. Do people who may be injecting drugs and attend raves, dance parties,
night clubs etc. notice a lack of needle and syringe disposal services?
2. Have people who attend raves, dance parties, night clubs etc ever noticed discarded needles and syringes at these events? If so, have they also noticed needle and syringe disposal bins at these events?
3. Is there much injecting of drugs at raves, dance parties, night clubs
etc?
4. How do people who may be injecting drugs and attend raves, dance parties, night clubs etc. get their information on safer disposal of used injecting equipment?
Cheers
