Itanagar, Jan 6: Arunachal Citizen's Rights (ACR) launched its comprehensive awareness program focusing on HIV/AIDS education and juvenile crime prevention for students of classes 9 to 12 across the capital area. The campaign began today with an interactive session for Class 12 students of Garden Dew School, Itanagar.
This initiative comes in response to the rising number of HIV cases in Arunachal Pradesh. ACR is committed to working at the grassroots level, reaching out to vulnerable communities to spread awareness and build resilience against health and social challenges. The program emphasizes the vital role of the upcoming generation in bringing about positive change and fostering a healthier, more inclusive future, the organisation said.
The session highlighted critical issues such as the transmission and prevention of HIV/AIDS, debunking prevalent myths associated with the condition, and creating a stigma-free understanding. It also covered the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, educating students about children’s rights and protections under the law.
Engaging presentations and open discussions left students with valuable knowledge and the inspiration to contribute to building safer, informed communities.
This initiative will extend to all schools in the capital area over the coming months, striving to empower students through awareness and promote healthier, safer societies.
