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
