Un degradado rosa ocupa la mayor parte del gráfico; un borde con patrón en blanco y negro separa el degradado de un bloque blanco situado en la parte inferior. En la parte superior, con letras negras, en negrita y mayúsculas, se lee: «Descolonizar la reducción de daños: priorizar la seguridad cultural y la justicia lingüística». Las palabras «Descolonizar la reducción de daños:» están resaltadas en amarillo. Debajo, en letra blanca más pequeña, se lee: «En este heteropatriarcado imperialista global, el inglés se considera el idioma dominante, lo que conlleva la marginación de otras lenguas habladas por una mayoría de personas racializadas (marrones, indígenas/nativas y negras). Quienes controlan la jerarquía lingüística determinan el acceso a la información y al discurso dominante. La justicia lingüística crea y mantiene espacios multilingües en organizaciones y movimientos para que todas las personas puedan ser escuchadas, tanto individualmente como en el seno de comunidades y culturas diversas. En esta sesión, describiremos cómo construir organizaciones que trabajen por la justicia lingüística». Hacia la parte inferior izquierda, un texto en rosa y negro indica: «Martes 29 de septiembre, de 13:00 a 15:00 h (hora del este) | Inscríbete en: bit.ly/DecolonizingHarmReduction».

The words, “Decolonizing Harm Reduction:” are highlighted in yellow. Smaller white font below reads, “In this global imperialist heteropatriarchy, English is deemed the dominant language at the expense of marginalizing others spoken by a majority of brown, Indigenous/Native, and Black people. Those who control language hierarchy rule access to information and the dominant discourse. Language justice builds and sustains multilingual spaces in organizations and movements so all can be heard individually and as part of diverse communities and cultures. In this session, we’ll outline how to build organizations working towards language justice.” Toward bottom left, text in pink and black reads, “Tuesday, Sept. 29 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. ET | Register: bit.ly/DecolonizingHarmReduction”.

🧵Trabajando con organizaciones socias y utilizando información obtenida de los Programas de Servicios de Jeringas (SSP), desarrollamos una hoja informativa que describe cómo los SSP pueden facilitar el acceso a los servicios para el VHC. bit.ly/AmpliandoElAccesoALaAtencionParaElVirusHepatitisC
Sobre un fondo con degradado de colores azul, morado y verde, un borde blanco con dos formas de estrella enmarca, a la izquierda, la foto de la mano extendida de una persona tras realizarse una prueba de VHC. A la derecha, se ven las manos de otra persona con guantes médicos azules; esta sostiene la mano de la persona de la izquierda mientras le aplica una bolita de algodón en el dedo. La persona que realiza el procedimiento viste una sudadera negra, de la cual solo se ve una parte. Detrás de ellas hay diversos suministros sanitarios. Sobre la foto, en letras blancas dentro de un recuadro morado, se lee: "Ampliando el Acceso a la Atención para el Virus de la Hepatitis C". Abajo a la derecha, dentro de una burbuja verde con letras blancas, aparece el texto: "También disponible en inglés". En la parte inferior central figuran los logotipos de NHRC, NSSSP y NASEN.

Debajo hay un recuadro azul claro con letras blancas que dice «Diagnóstico», junto a un texto en negro que señala: «Si el resultado de la prueba del participante es positivo, pruebas diagnósticas adicionales confirman si tiene una infección activa por VHC». Más abajo se encuentra un recuadro verde lima con letras blancas que dice «Vinculación a la atención», junto a un texto en negro que explica: «El personal del SSP pone a los participantes en contacto con profesionales clínicos para el tratamiento y ayuda a coordinar las citas y el transporte».

SSP staff screen participants for HCV and connect them to additional testing and treatment. | Co-located services provided by partners.
