Compiled by INPUD and the Asian Network of People who Use Drugs (ANPUD), this guide aims to explain their current position on the use of language and to provide clear advice on what is acceptable to them as communities of people who use drugs. They want to encourage all people to be thoughtful about the language and words they use, and have therefore provided a reference guide that identifies stigmatising language and gives non-judgemental, strengths-based, and respectful alternatives.
