📅Today, 3rd October '24 is World Alcohol Free Day. @Movendi_Int are highlighting that the current alcohol norm doesn’t serve communities. We expect more from our social environments and relations than pushing alcohol all the time.

At the #UNGA High Level Side Event on alcohol policy, Vital Strategies' Principal Technical Advisor Rebecca Perl presented the results of surveys conducted in 5️⃣ RESET focus countries: Brazil , Colombia, Kenya, Mexico and the Philippines.
The polls showed that people endorsed fiscal policies, price increases and taxes in all countries surveyed as an effective way to reduce alcohol consumption.
Thank you to @Movendi_Int, @UNICEF, @UNDP, @un_ncd and the Ministries of Health of Brazil, Ghana, Latvia and Lesotho for co-sponsoring this event to discuss the importance of the Global Alcohol Action Plan to meet the #SDGs.

Important read from @Movendi_Int:
"The Alcoholic Drinks Control Bill in Uganda was effectively sabotaged by a combination of economic arguments, fear-mongering over illicit alcohol, and resistance to regulation from the alcohol industry."

Labram Musah, Exec Dir of Programs, @valdghana, on behalf of @Movendi_Int noted the rising use of alcohol among older people and its associated risk factors for NCDs and non-communicable diseases like cancers, chronic diseases, #TB and HIV at the #RC74AFRO meeting in Brazzaville.
Movendi International retweeted
This calls for great urgency to better address alcohol in the response to TB, HIV, and STIs and to make use of the SAFER Alcohol Policy Blueprint to achieve progress towards the 90% milestone said Labram Musah on behalf of @Movendi_Int at #RC74AFRO.

🍺📣La campaña El alcohol daña a quien más amas, busca evidenciar la relación entre el consumo de alcohol y la violencia.
También es un claro llamado a exigir una política nacional para el control de bebidas alcohólicas⚠️

People in🇺🇬want health for their kids, families, communities. But #AlcoholHarms are escalating as alcohol companies push their harmful products on a young society.
Big Alcohol has delayed the National #AlcoholPolicy for years. Now @Parliament_Ug helps them derail the alcohol law
The motion for the second reading of the Alcoholic Drinks (Control) Bill, 2023 has collapsed. House adjourned to tomorrow at 2.00p.m. #PlenaryUg
Movendi International retweeted
The rejection of the #AlcoholControlBill, 2023 by Parliament is deeply #concerning, especially considering the potential impact on young people.
Without proper regulation, access to #alcohol becomes easier, increasing the risk of underage drinking and its associated #dangers.
Movendi International retweeted
Rejection of a public Health promotion law in Favour of money shows how much our MPs are detached from people's needs. One wonders whether they are happy to represent a sick and dying population
Movendi International retweeted
It's such a shame that Ugandan parliament put profits before people and rejected the Alcoholic Drinks Control Bill in spite of the socioeconomic harm attributed to alcohol. We shall fight on. @pwatchug @PolicyUganda @AnitaAmong @KagutaMuseveni @Movendi_Int @LMIUganda

This is the time of the year when I am ashamed to be a Ugandan. Legislators choosing money over life, profits over people? Alcohol is linked to seven Cancers. How many people can afford that treatment? #alcoholfree #alcoholawareness
