Virtual painting and photo exhibition “Girls deserve to shine”
(LĐXH)- A virtual photo and painting exhibition is opened on October 20 as part of the celebration of the Vietnam Women’s Day to raise the awareness of Gender Biased Sex Selection, to stop son preference and to honor the roles and the values of women and girls in the family and in the society, thus stimulating a change in everyone’s attitudes and behaviors towards gender-biased sex selection.
The exhibition reflects different perspectives, the true stories about the daily lives of grandmothers, mothers, sisters, female doctors, nurses, and many more at different ages, and with different jobs and roles. These women and girls always make efforts and devote themselves to the happiness of the family and the development of the communities.
It is time to have a fairer view that women and men have their own values and roles, and are able to contribute to the family and society equally. Everybody regardless of gender or age, job or social position deserves to be recognized and appreciated for their values and contributions to this life.
The exhibition is organized by the Center for Studies and Applied Sciences in Gender – Family – Women and Adolescents (CSAGA), with technical and financial support from The Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) and United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)
Ms. Naomi Kitahara, the UNFPA Representative for Vietnam said: “We trust that the virtual exhibition will increase the public knowledge about the negative impact of Gender Biased Sex Selection. Girls must enjoy the rights and opportunities just like boys. Girls deserve to shine”.
For her part, Ms. Van Anh, the Director of CSAGA said: “The virtual exhibition is a new form of communication in Vietnam, especially in the Covid-19 context. Through this exhibition, we hope people and couples, especially young couples will appreciate the value of women and girls, giving girls a chance to be born naturally because every girl deserves to be recognized and appreciated”.
