An
overall view of the event.
The project, funded by the Justice
Initiative FacilitationFund(JIFF), was implemented from June 2019
to December 2020.
After nearly two years of implementation,
the project basically completed all targets. Particularly, the indications on
communications to raise public awareness exceeded the goal.
Specifically, the project approached 4,312
people (180 percent of the target), giving legal consultations to 995 people
(99.5 percent), and helping reduce the ratio of people suffering violence by
7-9 percent.
Meanwhile, 100 percent of the local
officials received training and communications on changing behaviours in preventing
and combating gender-based violations.
In the four districts it covered, the
project provided direct consultations to 995 people, while giving legal knowledge
and policies against gender-based violence, domestic violence and sexual abuse
against children policy to 2,952 people via stage performance format.
A writing contest on eliminating
discrimination against women and girls was held, drawing 1,100 entries, with 15
outstanding pieces of writing wining prizes.
At the meeting, participants evaluated the
outcomes of the project, sharing experience and pointing out difficulties and
shortcoming during its implementation, while giving orientations for the future
operation of the project.
At the same time, they also gave proposals
to protect and ensure the rights of women and girls, including the issuance of
procedures to detect, support, interfere and handle violation cases, and
maintain and multiply the project models./.
