Acting Undersecretary of the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dr. Sulaiman Al-Suwailem, inaugurated the national awareness campaign “Be Aware,” aimed at enhancing awareness and preventing the dangers of drug use. The campaign is organized by the ministry, represented by the Rehabilitation and Evaluation Department at the College of Life Sciences, Kuwait University.
For his part, Al-Suwailem stated that the campaign stems from the importance of reinforcing shared responsibility in protecting youth and society from this scourge and the dangers of drugs and psychoactive substances. He noted that awareness goes beyond merely knowing the risks of drugs; it extends to building the capacity to make sound decisions and reject behaviors that threaten individuals, families, and society.
He added that combating drug abuse is a shared responsibility that requires the coordinated efforts of families, educational, religious, health, and social institutions. He emphasized that the ministry is fulfilling its role in awareness and guidance through targeted programs and initiatives aimed at strengthening values and community awareness, as well as implementing rehabilitation programs within correctional institutions and youth care centers.
