Document Summary
Video #1: rates of drug use in asia. War on drugs is mostly on poor community of color. But they do not use drugs more than whites. 1982 drug crime was actually on a decline when ronald regan tried to get more funding for the war. Links between human rights, abuses, and health in the videos. Violation of the right to vote, access to security, housing, fair trail, forced labour, racial discrimination. Links between these violations and drug users health: humanitarian model, cannot communicate freely. Prostitution and sex work (based on video #3) They should have rights just like other employees. Prostitution is legal, but communication, soliciting, brothels, making an economic profit (pimp) is illegal. Making it illegal will cause it to be less safe. Sex work/prostitution is inherently a violation of human rights. Very few women voluntarily involved in this sector.
