Our vision
C-EHRN envisions a future where Europe embodies a compassionate and equitable society where people who use drugs and other communities disproportionately affected by stigma, discrimination, and harmful (drug) policies have universal access to sustainable high-quality health and social care. We conceive an inclusive and respectful environment where social justice principles guide policies, and individuals and communities affected by harmful drug policies find empowerment and dignity.

Our mission
C-EHRN’s mission is to create spaces for dialogue and action to reduce social and health inequalities and promote social justice in Europe. Bringing together the harm reduction movement in Europe, C-EHRN serves as an agent of change by promoting and supporting rights-based and evidence-informed policies, services and practices that improve the health and well-being of people who use drugs, and other communities disproportionately affected by stigma, discrimination, health inequalities and harmful (drug) policies.
