Against Drug Abuse and the Sexual Abuse and Sexual Exploitation of Youth
Two United Nations agencies, the United Nations International Drug Control
Programme (UNDCP) and the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and
the Pacific (ESCAP) have joined forces to combat drug abuse among young
victims of sexual abuse and sexual exploitation. The two agencies are

training for health and social service providers working in this challenging
field.

youth to find new and innovative solutions. Here we review the situation
of drug abuse in the ASEAN region and the importance of listening to
youth.
