Inauguration of libraries for POEMA project
Feb 05 2024Project POEMA (Project for Opposing Early MArriages) is taking place in the mountainous areas north of Vietnam with the goal of combating early marriage and school dropout through education.
After completing rounds of awareness-raising and training meetings with the project's two target high schools on the effects of early marriages, sex education and gender equality, libraries on these topics were set up in each of the two schools. These libraries, accessible to all 1,108 students and teachers, aim to provide valuable resources.
Each of the two schools received a computer, a desk, a chair and 82 books, differentiated by age. These materials are designed to raise awareness and spread knowledge about combating early marriage, children's rights, gender equality and reproductive health. Additionally, 4 panels focusing on early marriage prevention were installed.
Teachers expressed great satisfaction upon receiving the donations, recognizing the potential impact on students' education and the effort to combat the phenomenon of early marriage.
