The Ministry of Family, Women, Childhood, and Elderly Affairs in Tunisia is launching an 'Hour of Prevention' event on October 8. This initiative aims to protect children from risky behaviors and raise awareness among students, families, and the community about the importance of prevention. The event is part of the national participatory initiative to prevent risky behaviors.
The 'Hour of Prevention' event will take place simultaneously across various regions of Tunisia, with coordination between local authorities, ministries, public institutions, and associations concerned with childhood, youth, and mental health. The event targets students, families, and educational institutions to discuss and raise awareness about risks such as drug use, substance abuse, and addiction to screens.
The main goal of the event is to promote life skills, particularly refusal skills and resisting peer pressure, and to enhance parental awareness of their supervisory role in ensuring children's safe navigation of the digital space. Additionally, the event aims to support the capabilities of educational and university staff in observing behavioral signs that may indicate early risks of engaging in risky behaviors.
The 'Hour of Prevention' event will provide a platform for families and students to listen, receive guidance, and engage in awareness-raising activities to prevent risky behaviors. The Ministry of Family, Women, Childhood, and Elderly Affairs is working to unify the national communication discourse among government institutions and regional and local associations.
The event is part of Tunisia's efforts to address the challenges faced by children and adolescents, including the risks associated with substance abuse, addiction, and online safety. By engaging students, families, and educational institutions, the Ministry aims to create a safe and supportive environment for children to grow and develop.
The 'Hour of Prevention' event has been organized in collaboration with various stakeholders, including ministries, public institutions, and associations concerned with childhood, youth, and mental health. This collaborative approach reflects the government's commitment to addressing the complex issues surrounding child protection and safety.
On October 8, the 'Hour of Prevention' event will take place in front of educational institutions, vocational training centers, and universities across Tunisia.
