CRC Article 33

Nobody may use you around drugs

You have the right to protection if someone pressures you to carry, sell or use drugs. You should get help, not only blame.

How you can use it

1. 1Leave the situation and go to a safe adult or public place.
2. 2Tell a teacher, doctor, youth worker, police officer or advocate.
3. 3Ask for confidential health support and protection from retaliation.

What a violation looks like

A child is recruited to carry or sell drugs and nobody protects them.

Words you can use

“I am being pressured around drugs. I need protection, not blame.”

If speaking is hard, write it, draw it, send a message, or ask a trusted adult to say it with you.
