In a recent gathering at the Bongouanou Multipurpose Center, Ahoua N’doli, founder of the NGO Taloua Djasso, appealed to parents, educational authorities, and community leaders to strengthen their commitment to combating early pregnancies and various forms of exploitation of young girls. This call to action was made during the culmination of awareness-raising activities conducted by his organization in several schools in the Moronou region. N’doli emphasized that preventing pregnancies during schooling requires not only interventions in schools but also permanent involvement from families and communities.
Ahoua N’doli urged parents whose children study away from home to regularly visit them to ensure their living conditions, environment, and associations are safe. He also encouraged traditional leaders and community members to disseminate awareness messages to the population. The founder of Taloua Djasso praised the commitment of school administrators, teachers, and the entire educational community. He specifically encouraged young girls to prioritize their studies, be cautious of deceptive promises, and resist pressures that could compromise their future.
N’doli addressed boys and men, highlighting their responsibility in protecting young girls and condemning harassment, blackmail, and exploitation, particularly in areas frequented by students. He suggested that schools establish a safe and confidential environment for students to report harassment, violence, or abuse without fear of retaliation. Stressing the need to combat impunity, he called on victims and witnesses of sexual abuse involving minors to report incidents to competent authorities rather than seeking out-of-court settlements that might allow perpetrators to evade justice.
According to Ahoua N’doli, the fight against early pregnancies and violence against young girls relies on shared responsibility among families, schools, and the entire community. The event, which took place on November 7, 2026, in Bongouanou, marked the end of a series of awareness campaigns conducted by Taloua Djasso in various schools in the Moronou region. N’doli's initiative aims to engage all stakeholders in protecting young girls and ensuring they can pursue their education in a safe environment.
The awareness campaign by Taloua Djasso reflects a broader effort to address the issue of early pregnancies and exploitation of young girls in Côte d'Ivoire. By engaging parents, educators, and community leaders, the organization seeks to create a protective network for young girls. This approach recognizes that preventing early pregnancies and exploitation requires a comprehensive strategy that involves all segments of society.
Ahoua N’doli's call for collective action underscores the complexity of addressing early pregnancies and exploitation. It requires not only educational interventions but also community engagement and family support. By working together, stakeholders can help young girls make informed choices about their education and future. The initiative also highlights the need for a safe and supportive environment that allows girls to pursue their studies without fear of harassment or exploitation.
The efforts of Ahoua N’doli and Taloua Djasso contribute to a growing movement to protect young girls in Côte d'Ivoire. By raising awareness and promoting collective action, they aim to create a safer and more supportive environment for young girls to pursue their education. This initiative is crucial in a region where early pregnancies and exploitation can have severe consequences for young girls' futures.
