Chu Pah is a mountainous district of Gia Lai province with ethnic minorities accounting for more than 55% of the population. People's lives are still difficult, and awareness of some people is limited, so bad customs still exist, including early marriage and incestuous marriage (TH&HNCHT). By September 2024, there were 25 cases of early marriage in the district.

At the conference, students listened to the reporter present topics on the current situation of TH&HNCHT in the district; the harmful effects of TH&HNCHT on themselves, their families and society, the Law on Marriage and Family; the significance of sex education in schools; ways to prevent pregnancy in adolescents, adolescent reproductive health. At the same time, they shared customs and practices related to marriage in ethnic minority areas, ways to take care of themselves, and eliminate bad customs...

Within the framework of the media conference, the students had the opportunity to interact and confidently ask questions to the reporter about how to prevent child marriage in schools and in their villages; how to handle situations when having feelings for a classmate of the opposite sex; future orientation... All of the students' questions were answered satisfactorily and usefully by the reporter.
Ro Cham Hoa - a 9th grade student at Chu Pah District Boarding Secondary School for Ethnic Minorities shared: "The extracurricular activities and communication on child marriage and family have helped me gain more knowledge about the law on marriage and family; understand that child marriage and family is a violation of the law, causing serious consequences for myself and my family. From there, I know how to prevent and fight child marriage, focus on studying to build a better future."
It is known that in 2024, Chu Pah district has developed a plan to disseminate the law on Marriage and Family Law, preventing and combating TH&HNCHT in 17 secondary schools in communes and towns. Up to now, the district has organized 5 secondary schools with nearly 2,000 students participating.

Mr. Luyen Van Toan - Deputy Head of the Ethnic Affairs Department of Chu Pah district said: The majority of students in the highlands of the district are children of ethnic minorities. Therefore, propaganda work on preventing child marriage in schools is carried out in many different forms, with rich and vivid content. In particular, through real stories of child marriage in the locality, it will help students better understand the consequences for themselves, their families and society; raise awareness about school gender, adolescent health... From there, each student will become an active collaborator in propagating to friends, relatives and people in the villages, joining hands to push back child marriage, building an increasingly rich and civilized homeland.
