I’m Rafaela Rigoni, a lifelong advocate for harm reduction with over 20 years of experience across Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America. From leading civil society monitoring of harm reduction in Europe to consulting on international projects, I’m all about advancing meaningful, evidence-based change in drug policy. With a PhD in Development Studies and a background in Psychology, I bring a critical, open-minded approach to my work, always aiming to turn complex challenges into concrete solutions.

Curiosity and a love for new perspectives drive me, whether I’m working with diverse teams, exploring new cultures, or enjoying the sun in green spaces.
