The messages that are incorporated into the literacy curricula are on issues such as reproductive health, women's empowerment, and reproductive rights of women, gender equality, and male involvement in family life, education of the girl child and those related to adolescents. Some women bring their children to class as they haven't anyone to look after them. The student's ages range from nine to forty-five. Students at Navid Danesh girl's high school.
