This fits within a national program to prevent violence against children and harmful practices. The Unicef looks forward to providing 6-hour session on self-defense to more than 100,000 children (70% girls) and to orient more than 500,000 parents and community people in 25 districts and 12 city corporations from the most vulnerable the divisions of the country.
