In Diyarbakır, authorities and community leaders have initiated efforts to combat drug use and related social issues.

Local officials in the Bağlar district began a large-scale demolition of abandoned buildings used as drug dens to improve public safety and lighting in neighborhoods like Muradiye. Following these physical interventions, community organizations such as the Şiyar Be Platform launched the "Rabin" campaign. This initiative focuses on social awareness and organized community action through public meetings in the Sur, Kayapınar, and Bismil districts to address drug addiction and prostitution.
