Educate 3000 children against societal risks

Dear Friends,

We are happy to share with you latest updates on Educate 3000 children against societal risks. Thanks to your support, we organized diversity activities throughout the school year and ensured 100% of the girls in the program continue going to school without fears of tuition fees.

On February, AAT collaborated with IECD (Institute for Education Cooperation and Development) and La Boulangerie Francaise to organize a training session for young people of the age group 17-23 on safe migration and human trafficking.

Through this training session, AAT provided some basic knowledge and skills such as:

+ The risks and ways to avoid in the process of "Migration to find work".

+ Human trafficking/Illegal immigration.

- Tactics, identification of traffickers.

- Group of victims, the effects of human trafficking: "Insiders' stories".

- How to avoid it and related laws, decrees and circulars

In addition, we had a session to share more information about some risks, ways to prevent abuse and harassmen, also practical examples from Mr. Georges Blanchard – the representative of AAT and also the person who has participated in the prevention of all forms of exploitation, abuse and human trafficking during 40 years in general and 25 years of operation in Vietnam in particular, so that they can have a clearer picture of this situation.

In March, RMIT Digital Media students from Episodic Animation course will collaborate with Alliance Anti-Trafic (AAT) to produce animated pilots for potential shows to raise awareness on possible topics such as: prevention of sexual exploitation & sexual abuse, prevention & combating school violence, reproductive health & education, … The purpose of these animation will be to promote education and awareness to the public.

We believe that the ongoing involvement of youth not only become role models for our beneficiary in gaining more confidence and taking their first steps towards their future but also bring a source of positive energy to the social.

As usual, we are grateful to have your support. As we go forward, we’ll be sure to keep you updated, and know that we always value your questions, ideas and feedback. Thank you for you ongoing support to our project.

It has been two years since COVID-19 has spread rapidly within and between countries across the globe. Vietnam is still in the process of recovering from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In last November, a workshop on Sex Education and Internet Safety was conducted by AAT for the children (from 12 to 17 years old) of "Where Dreams Bloom" program at District 1. Sex-education is an important aspect for the overall development of children from a young age. Topics covered in the training session include:
• Gender and sexual diversity
• Reproductive organs: Boy and Girl
• Puberty in boys and girls
• Where do babies come from?
• STIs and Safe Sex
• Laws related to underage sex, abortion, child marriage and inbreeding
• Sexual abuse and harassment - How to avoid it
• Internet safety for children

In last December, AAT held a useful and interesting information sharing session for children under 12 years old in Binh Thanh District. Sex-education is an important aspect for the overall development of children from a young age. The children were taught about good touch and bad touch and what measures should be taken if caught in an unfavorable situation. The children were also educated through the medium of videos.

Comprehensive sexuality education remains the cornerstone for improving the sexual and reproductive health of adolescents. The objective is to ensure that young people are receiving high quality, life skills-based, sexuality education to gain the knowledge and skills to make safe, healthy and respectful choices about sexuality and relationships. Comprehensive sexuality education is built upon a foundation of human rights, the rights of the child, and the empowerment of children and young people.
