Colombia: New anti-drugs campaign targets the public

According to the last National Study on Drugs, released in 2008 by the Colombian Ministry of Social Protection, the National Narcotics Directorate and UNODC Colombia, 540, 000 people between the ages of 12 and 65 were found to have used some kind of illicit drug in the preceding year.

The Colombian Government, working together with UNODC, is determined to make the country a “drug-free territory”. Recently, the Government launched a new public awareness campaign in the capital, Bogotá, called “Colombia, a drug free territory”. The campaign, in the form of television, radio and online infomercials, is being carried out in major cities in the country.
