Good example of good and studious girls

Nowadays, many families with only girls have overcome gender prejudice and the notion that they must have a son to build and nurture happiness together. For them, whether boy or girl, as long as they have healthy children, raise them well, and study well, that is enough to be fulfilled. This affirms that happiness does not come from having a boy or a girl, but rather from loving and educating children in a way that ensures children develop comprehensively in health, intelligence, spirit, and morality.

Dr. Vu Duy Hung, Head of the Hanoi Department of Population and Family Planning (KHHHGĐ), said that the International Day of the Girl Child on October 11 every year is chosen by the United Nations to raise awareness of gender equality, promote the community to implement policies to support and enhance the role and position of girls in particular and women in general, especially girls in families where only one child is a girl. Gender inequality is the fundamental cause of increasing gender imbalance at birth, and on the contrary, gender imbalance will deepen the problem of gender inequality, and adolescent girls are the most vulnerable. Therefore, it is necessary to create conditions for them to enter adulthood safely and equally. When they are empowered to decide their own lives, they have more opportunities to develop their potential, becoming positive factors creating change in their families, communities and countries. Therefore, protecting the rights of girls today is ensuring a fairer future. This meaningful message aims to call on the whole world to give more opportunities to girls and raise awareness about gender inequality including areas such as education, nutrition, health , protection from discrimination, violence and no more child marriage...
