A total of 65 members of the Youth Information and Counseling Center (PIK-R), from three junior high schools in Pangalengan District received sessions on reproductive health, stunting prevention, and the risks of child marriage(18/11). The Population Control, Family Planning, Women’s Empowerment, and Child Protection Office(DP2KBP3A) of Bandung District supported the training as resource persons for the participants.
This training is part of the collaboration program between Indonesia Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) Peduli Bakti Bagi Negeri and CARE Indonesia to prevent child marriage, which is one of the factors that increases the risk of stunting among children.
Youth involvement reflects the peer to peer approach in preventing child marriage. Participants can share the knowledge they gained and act as peer educators for their classmates and their surrounding community.
