In June 2023, the youth in Hopley conducted feminist research on drug and substance abuse as part of their action plans following a December 2022 Road show on drug and substance abuse conducted. The research, coordinated by a steering committee of 15 youths (9 females and 6 males), aimed to gain insights into drug and substance abuse among young people in Hopley. It focused on understanding the driving forces behind drug abuse, sources of illicit substances, prevalence among youths, and barriers to addressing the issue.
