Room for change – Varianta romaneasca
Folosirea în comun a echipamentului de injectare de către consumatorii de droguri duce la răspândirea bolilor infecțioase precum hepatita C sau HIV. Persoanele care locuiesc în zonele respective nu privesc cu ochi buni seringile aruncate pe stradă. Soluția nu poate veni de la poliție – arestarea persoanelor care consumă droguri nu reduce numărul acestor, ci îi împinge către comportamente mai riscante și la aruncarea seringilor cât rapid după folosire. Vechile metode de luptă împotriva problemelor legate de droguri nu funcționează. Aceasta este o campanie de găsire a unor noi soluții – de a face loc schimbării.
Room for Change – Miesto pre zmenu
Zdieľanie pomôcok na injikovanie medzi ľuďmi, ktorí injekčne užívajú drogy vedie k infekciám, akými sú hepatitída typu C alebo HIV. Pohodené striekačky sú na ulici nevítaní hostia a spôsobujú nevôľu okolitým obyvateľom. Riešenie však neleží v rukách polície – zatýkanie ľudí, ktorí užívajú drogy nepomôže znížiť počet užívateľov drog. Naopak, núti ich užívať drogy rizikovejším spôsobom a použité striekačky zahodiť čo najskôr po použití. Starý spôsob boja proti drogám nefunguje. Toto je kampaň pre nové riešenia – toto je Room for Change (Miesto pre zmenu).
