An advocate group on Friday discouraged the use of labels “adik,” “durugista,” and “drug abuser” as these have harmful consequences to the lives of concerned individuals.
“Stigmatizing language is very harmful,” Drug Policy Reform Initiative lead convener Atty. Kristine Mendoza told reporters during the launch of their media toolkit in covering stories on illegal drugs.
Titled as “Putting Persons First: Drug Reporting and the Media," the toolkit was developed by advocates and journalists.According to Mendoza, using such labels reduces the multifaceted character of a human being. It called on journalists to be sensitive in interviewing concerned persons and communities by avoiding the exploitation of grief and trauma, adopting a compassionate tone, and not baiting them to confess.
