Correlation - European Harm Reduction Network
Correlation - European Harm Reduction Network was established in 2004 in Amsterdam (NL) as a European civil society network and centre of expertise in the field of drug use, harm reduction and social inclusion. We work with a variety of stakeholders such as healthcare professionals, social and community workers, peer workers, researchers, policy makers and activists and make sure their voices are heard and their experiences incorporated in policy and practice. Our main goal is to improve the access to and the quality of harm reduction services for People Who Use Drugs including related vulnerable and marginalised people such as drug using sex workers, MSM, (undocumented) migrants and homeless people, and to enhance policies and practices that increase social inclusion and harm reduction policies. Specific attention is given to services for the prevention, treatment and care of Hepatitis C and other infectious diseases, such as HIV/AIDS among these target groups.
