In response to a recent government regulation that designated state health workers as the only people officially allowed to distribute syringes and needles to IDUs (Injecting Drugs Users), Bali’s HIV/AIDS non-governmental organizations have developed a new strategy.
Prior to the issuance of the regulation, NGO outreach workers were responsible for distributing needles directly to local IDU communities that participated in government-condoned NEP (Needle Exchange Program) pilot projects.

Ikatan Korban Napza (IKON) Bali adalah kelompok yang memperjuangkan perlindungan hak asasi manusia (HAM) bagi pecandu maupun mantan pecandu Napza.Untuk mewujudkan cita-cita tersebut IKON Bali melakukannya melalui empat program utama yaitu Advokasi, Dokumentasi, Kampanye, dan Sosialisasi.
