The kits comprise 60 six-place mats and 38 loudspeakers with microphones. These materials aim to enable women from 30 associations and groups to organize awareness campaigns in their localities.

Provincial Delegate for Women and Early Childhood, Yodamné Marie, stated that the equipment will facilitate organization of meetings and exchanges on women's rights, protection, and prevention of harmful practices.
