Plan, a non-governmental organisation, has launched a project in Hanoi
with an aim of building the gender responsive school model to end
school-related gender-based violence.
The project, launched at the Thach That High School on October 11, will be piloted at 20 junior and senior high schools across 16 districts in the city, drawing the participation of about 30,000 students, 500 teachers and 45,000 parents.
Le Quynh Lan, Plan Vietnam manager for Hanoi, said the project is carried out at a cost of 21 billion VND (1 million USD) partly funded by the organisation and the United Nations’ Trust Fund.
The initiative, the first of its kind in Hanoi, not only equips students with knowledge and skills to deal with gender-based violence but also raises the awareness of teachers, parents and students of gender equality, she noted.
A document on its implementation was inked between Plan and the Hanoi Department of Education and Training on June 12 this year.-VNA
