The regional delegate for women's affairs, family, childhood, and elderly in Zaghouan, Mohamed Khamira, announced the launch of an awareness and education caravan to prevent the phenomenon of drugs and limit its risks among children and young people. The caravan started at the Institute of Examination, which has around 800 students. This initiative is part of the implementation of the first phase of the national communication program for online prevention of drug risks, launched by the Ministry of Family, Women, Childhood, and Elderly under the slogan "Your health first".
The awareness caravan aims to educate young people about the dangers of drugs and their impact on health, psychology, and society, as well as their effects on family life and academic performance. The caravan includes interactive activities and awareness meetings targeting students to promote a culture of prevention and contribute to limiting the spread of this phenomenon. The caravan also includes psychologists to provide listening and support to students facing psychological difficulties.
The caravan is part of a continuous awareness process that will be strengthened during the "Protection Month", which runs from November 20 to December 20. During this period, awareness activities and programs will be organized for children, young people, and parents to enhance the role of the family in prevention and protect young people from risky behaviors. The initiative is carried out in cooperation with the National Family and Human Habitat Observatory.
The awareness caravan includes the distribution of questionnaires to identify the level of awareness of students about the risks of drugs, which will help determine needs and develop mechanisms for prevention and early intervention. The caravan is part of the efforts of the Ministry of Family, Women, Childhood, and Elderly to combat the phenomenon of drugs and promote a culture of prevention.
The regional delegate, Mohamed Khamira, emphasized the importance of this initiative in promoting awareness and education among young people about the risks of drugs. He also highlighted the need for cooperation between different parties to combat this phenomenon and protect young people from its risks. The caravan is an example of the efforts made by the Tunisian authorities to address the issue of drugs and promote a culture of prevention.
The "Your health first" slogan under which the caravan is launched reflects the importance of prioritizing health and well-being in the fight against the phenomenon of drugs. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to promote health and prevent risky behaviors among young people in Tunisia. The authorities are working to strengthen prevention and intervention mechanisms to address the issue of drugs and its impact on society.
The awareness caravan in Zaghouan is one of several initiatives launched in Tunisia to raise awareness about the risks of drugs and promote a culture of prevention.
