United Nations: International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation, 6 February 2025

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and Iran's Literacy Movement Organization (LMO) are making efforts to integrate population and reproductive health messages at all levels of literacy classes in the selected provinces of Bushehr, Sistan and Baluchestan, Golestan and Kordestan and the semi-urban area of Islam Shahr, south of the capital, Tehran. 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.
