On December 10, For Vietnamese Stature Foundation (VSF) in collaboration with the Lao Cai Provincial Women's Union (WU), of Bac Ha district WU and local authorities organized a training course on the topic of children's rights, child marriage, and early labor prevention for ethnic minority children in difficult circumstances.

This is the 5th activity of the “No voice - No equal future” project implemented since May 2023 with funding from TH Group and  VSF's "Spreading True Happiness" program.

Participants are 30 H'Mong ethnic children aged 11 - 16 from Thai Giang Pho commune, Bac Ha district, Lao Cai province.

Through experiential activities such as group discussions, presentations, and debates, the training course provided the children with basic knowledge about children's basic rights, the concept of child marriage & its consequences, and examples of early labor, etc.

The children also practiced script-building techniques and directly participated in improvisational plays about the causes of child marriage and strategies for prevention.

“Previously, I read posters of children's rights on the school information board but I didn't fully understand it. After the training course, I have a better understanding of the four groups of children's rights and know how to classify them.”

“I will share with my classmates the consequences of child marriage as well as how to prevent it.”

“I used to think that child labor involves doing heavy or dangerous work; however, in fact, child labor takes many other forms.”

Those are 3 of the many sharings of students after the training course.
