TED Talk zum Thema: How drug checking saves lives | Jill Zeugin | TEDxBasel
Why does society often perceive legal substances as safer than illegal ones? In her exploration of drug policy, Jill delves into the transformative power of harm reduction, challenging common misconceptions and advocating for compassionate, science-based approaches to substance use. Uncover how harm reduction not only saves lives but also nurtures a culture of responsibility, awareness, and self-care. Jill has been actively involved in harm reduction since 2016, beginning her career in Basel's drug consumption rooms during her studies. After completing her bachelor in social work in 2018, she advanced to lead DIBS, a stationary drug checking service, and co-leads 'Safer Dance Basel', providing drug checking services at parties and festivals, focusing on recreational drug use in and around Basel. Her work is driven by the belief in informed choices, reducing stigma, and fostering a safer environment. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
