Rethink Your Drink | Tackling Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder in South Africa
Loading player...
On The Social Impact Show with Sam Marshall, we spotlight Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)—South Africa’s most urgent yet preventable public health crisis. With some of the highest rates in the world, FASD affects as many as 1 in 3 children in certain communities.
Joining the conversation is Kashifa Ancer, Campaign Manager for Rethink Your Drink, an alcohol harm reduction initiative by the DG Murray Trust, in partnership with Hold My Hand. Together, they are raising awareness this FASD Awareness Day (9 September) and throughout the month.
Kashifa unpacks:
✨ Why education around alcohol use in pregnancy is still not reaching mothers
✨ The role of South Africa’s alcohol culture, binge drinking, and illicit trade
✨ How stronger policy, awareness, and community action can change the story
✨ Why young people are joining the global “sober curious” movement
