Two 8th graders contribute to eliminating child marriage

Hoang Thi Thuy and Ly Van Lau (8th grade students, Mong ethnic group, Krong Bong Ethnic Boarding Secondary School) jointly implemented the project "Improving communication capacity on sex education and adolescent reproductive health care for students at Krong Bong Ethnic Boarding Secondary School".

Hoang Thi Thuy and Ly Van Lau share about the project

Thuy shared that living in Krong Bong district, Thuy witnessed many girls as young as 13, 14 years old getting married, and the family life of young couples being difficult and miserable. The situation of early marriage leads to many hidden consequences, so Thuy and Lau together carried out this project.

The project conducted a survey of 150 students at Krong Bong Secondary School for Ethnic Minorities. As a boarding school for ethnic minorities, the project helped raise awareness and communication capacity on sex education and adolescent reproductive health care among students at the school.

The two children's project contributes to reducing child marriage.

They have implemented and applied solutions: raising awareness and communication capacity; establishing the "Communication - Adolescent Reproductive Health Care" Club; integrating communication content into direct consultation "Talking about health" during boarding school hours; sharing communication activities on media; organizing communication initiatives on a school-wide scale; participating in community communication projects; sharing reputable addresses providing health care services in Krong Bong district...

Hoang Thi Thuy shared that the communication product “Flyer to prevent and combat child marriage and incestuous marriage” has been funded to print and distribute nearly 2,000 copies to the community. The communication initiative “Painting propaganda paintings, exhibiting paintings” attracted the participation of many students with over 150 paintings. Thereby, contributing to reducing the rate of early pregnancy, pushing back child marriage and incestuous marriage.

At the Science and Technology Research Competition for high school students in Dak Lak province in the 2024-2025 school year, Thuy and Lau's project won third prize.
