We humans encounter different kinds violence in our daily lives, there

are a lot of types of violence like economic violence, political and

institutional violence cultural violence, religious violence, cyber-
bullying and information violence. Violence gives trauma and it gives
people social anxiety, it lowers their self-esteem and also their
confidence. Violence is one of the most problematic problems we’re
facing today and it is increasing every day on the streets of our cities.
The most common description of what violence really is can be given as
negativity towards something or someone through physical or verbal
acts, often leaving the victim in pain. While violence can definitely be
reduced, due to the nature of man, it will never be eliminated and so the
WAR ON DRUGS policy of the president, it violates human rights of
people who are accused of using drugs.

Is war on drugs a successful policy or unsuccessful?

The war on drugs that is implemented by the government involves the
lives of innocent and guilty people, because of this situation the human
rights was abused. According to the 10 commandments “thou shalt not
kill” but killings were involved in implementing this policy. As of
recent, the war on drugs has been a very often discussed topic due to
many controversial issues. Some people believe the War on Drugs has
been quite successful due to the amount of drugs seized and the amount
of drug kingpins arrested. I believe this to be the wrong mindset when it
comes to the war on drugs. The war on drugs isn’t a winnable one so we
must do all that is possible to assist those who struggle with drug
addiction and decriminalize small amounts of drugs. These minor
changes in the way we combat drugs will create significant change and
have lasting effects.
According to the Manila Times “At a campaign rally in Malabon City on
Tuesday evening, Duterte, whose promise to eradicate illegal drugs in
three to six months helped him capture the presidency in 2016, said the
drug problem was “swallowing” the country.” It’s a worldwide problem,
now there are drugs even in China, Taiwan and there are a lot of others,”
the President said.
Duterte added that some police officers were protecting drug traders.
“I will release a document, how the policemen are playing with drugs,
the officials and why it is never-ending. Why are policemen assigned in
anti-drugs back then are still in anti-drugs? The Filipino people are being
played [with],” he said.
Today’s report is absolutely clear. It states that ‘the “war on drugs” has
effectively been a war on people, in particular the poorest and most
marginalised sectors of society, and has undermined the rights of
millions of them.’ It goes on to say that ‘Years of evidence from
countries in every region of the world undercut the logic of the “war on
drugs” and has contributed to the current shift in understandings of drug
policy.” The message is clear and unambiguous: the war on drugs is a
war on human rights.
I had observed on war on drugs is that killing is not a solution to end the
certain problem about the drug addiction, more people rebels on the
government and fighting for their human rights. Killing cannot solve the
problems, the suspected and the drug users/dealers can undergo
rehabilitation and reconciliation to change their lives for their family.
