Besides this the day is also celebrated by hosting a series of events worldwide encouraging more participation and greater awareness to the cause of drug abuse. Many International and local NGOs, over the years, been vigorously involved in inducting campaigns to facilitate support for drug control and with the help from the government regular promotional events and larger scale activities, such as public rallies and mass media involvement, to promote the awareness of dangers associated with illicit drugs. According to World Drug Report, world’s largest morphine seizures continued to be reported by Pakistan (11 mt or 40% of the global total), Iran (10 mt) and Afghanistan (5 mt) besides that Pakistan also listed on high rank in Global illicit cultivation of opium poppy and production of opium, about 2,000 ha of opium poppy were cultivated in the border area with Afghanistan,  the country that is responsible for at least 75% of the world's heroin. UNODC calculates that more than 800,000 Pakistanis aged between 15 and 64 use heroin regularly, particularly high rate in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, which neighbors Afghanistan besides this  number of injection drug users in Punjab has also increased sharply in the recent years that put them at high risk of HIV and tuberculosis infection, and other conditions including malnutrition and general poor health. Sudden sniffing death the rigorous use of volatile substances (even during only one session) may result in irregular heart rhythms and death within minutes In Pakistan, the total number of drug addicts as per a UN report is 7.6 million, where 78% are male while the rest 22% are female. The number of these addicts is increasing at the rate of 40,000 per year making Pakistan one of the most drug affected countries of the world.

Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) and many NGOs are maintaining following hospitals in major cities of Pakistan e.g Islamabad, Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta and Sukkur.  All district hospitals are ordered to have one ward entirely for treatment of drug addicts. These wards however only provide detoxification facilities. Rehabilitation centers are extremely costly and demand highly motivated people to take care of drug addicts, there are hundreds of the thousands of drug addicts and for government obviously it is impossible to flight alone with this problem in order for the complete control over drug trafficking and drug abuse communities can also make a major contribution. Families, schools, civil society and religious organizations can do their part to rid their communities of drugs. Businesses can help provide legitimate livelihoods and media can raise awareness about the dangers of Drugs. Drugs abuse and the illicit trafficking of drugs is an evil in our society especially when you are third world country. Our youth is our proud, we can’t see them disorientated.
