(Baonghean.vn) - Innovating and diversifying communication forms, targeting different audiences is an effective way to communicate about population. In particular, this October, the program focuses on women and girls with many practical and meaningful contents.

Message on gender equality

"What about being a girl?" is the question asked by Viet Trung (class 8A1) and Bao Ngoc (class 6A1) - Hanh Thiet Secondary School (Quy Chau) in their drawing presentation at the Anniversary Ceremony.International Day of the Girl Child.

To make their point, both also painted a rather vivid picture of a woman working as a construction worker on a construction site.

The photo also speaks for itself: Women are not "weak" but can still do things that men can do.

Never discriminate and treat girls unfairly. Moreover, as adults, please protect, give love and opportunities for all girls to develop comprehensively and maturely...

International Day of the Girl Child is an annual activity that has been held for many years. However, in 2020, the program was held for the first time at a school with the participation of a large number of teachers, students and parents. The program's organizers also chose Quy Chau district to carry out this meaningful and practical activity, because Quy Chau is a mountainous district with many difficulties.

In particular, there are still backward customs here and the situation of girls having to drop out of school to get married early, early marriage and incestuous marriage is still happening.

With the above spirit, coming to the program, in addition to participating in games, exchanging and sharing issues surrounding reproductive health care, the program is also a forum for students to express their thoughts on the issue of protecting girls' rights. Through the drawings and presentations of students, teachers and those who are working in child care can gradually approach the thoughts and perceptions of today's students.

Teacher Nguyen Thi Xuan - Principal of Hanh Thiet Secondary School said: "Our school is located in the central area of ​​the district, but the proportion of students who are ethnic minorities is still quite high. In fact, in recent years, despite promoting propaganda and mobilization work, the situation of girls having to leave school early to get married still occurs. Therefore, with this program, I think it is really meaningful and a useful communication channel for students to understand the value of girls and to motivate and encourage them to strive to overcome their circumstances, study well and later become useful people for society."

With the same purpose, this year, the Contest"Ring the Golden Bell"learn about reproductive health knowledge for adolescents and young peopleProvincial Department of Population and Family PlanningThe organization chose Ky Son district as its destination. This is also one of the "hot spots" of Nghe An province in the past year regarding the situation of students dropping out of school to get married early.

Coming to this year's contest, students of Ky Son High School and the District Vocational Education Center - GDTX were able to participate in an exciting but also truly meaningful and useful playground. In particular, through 30 questions of the contest, students were equipped with the necessary knowledge to improve their knowledge of adolescent reproductive health care and to show their talent, intelligence and cultural identity of their nation.

“Participating in the “Golden Bell” contest has helped me gain more meaningful knowledge. I also believe that many students in my school have learned many useful things after this contest and gradually changed their awareness and thinking about self-protection and reproductive health protection for adolescents and young people.”

Expanding the propaganda target

Since the end of September, the Provincial Department of Population and Family Planning has coordinated with other units to co-organize many meaningful activities. Among them, one of the exciting activities that has received the attention of many women is the contest "Women with population work in the new situation".

This is also the first time the Provincial Department of Population and Family Planning has accompanied the Provincial Women's Union to launch this contest. Through 3 contests held on a pilot basis in Quynh Luu, Yen Thanh and Do Luong districts, the biggest thing that remains is the enthusiastic response of local authorities and women at the grassroots level. Participating in this program, women's unions also have the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding, knowledge, talent and especially to exchange, learn and share with other units.

To organize the program in a new and rich way, the units have built a detailed and elaborate script that both propagates population policy and also incorporates many contents about women's movements such as the "5 no 3 clean" program, building happy, prosperous and equal families.

“Women are the core force in propaganda, mobilization and implementation of movements at the grassroots level. Therefore, coordinating the implementation of programs will bring "double" benefits in attracting a large number of members to participate and implementing communication activities in a richer and more exciting way.”

Ms. Phan Thi Thanh Tam - Head of Family and Social Affairs Department, Provincial Women's Union

Not only at the provincial level, at the grassroots level, in recent times, the integration of population propaganda activities has also been flexibly implemented with many different subjects.

In Quy Hop district, the Population and Development Steering Committee of Chau Quang commune coordinated with departments and branches in the commune to organize the contest "Joining hands to build new rural areas". Throughout the contest were policies and guidelines on population work, reducing the rate of third children, minimizing gender imbalance at birth...

Thereby, encouraging families to implement population policies well, build cultural families, develop the economy and join hands with departments, branches and localities to build communes that meet new rural standards. Or to respond to the International Day of the Girl Child, Bac Son Commune Health Station coordinated with the Youth Union and Commune Police to implement a communication exchange program to prevent sexual abuse, prevent drowning and prevent school violence.

Ms. Nguyen Thuy Hang - Head of Population Department, Quy Hop District Health Center also affirmed: "Diversifying forms of communication on population has brought about many practical results. That has also contributed to raising the responsibility of departments and branches for population and family planning work".

“Population communication work is a difficult task and requires perseverance to "slowly penetrate". Therefore, in addition to "going to every alley, knocking on every door, checking every target", we will diversify communication forms such as organizing competitions, implementing dramatization activities or strengthening coordination with departments and branches. We also believe that this effort will contribute to changing people's awareness and raising action for the population cause of the province".
