With the conical hat-made tree disseminating the SDGs, UNFPA extends its support to Vietnam in the cause for gender equality which remains rampant in the Southeast Asian country.
A Christmas tree made from more than 300 conical hats becomes the unique of its kind in Vietnam during this festive season.
Initiated by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Representative in Vietnam Naomi Kitahara, the tree is a combination of Western and Eastern cultures that disseminates 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that Vietnam is making efforts to the United Nations 2030 Agenda.
In addition, the presents around the tree represent a number of messages proposed by UNFPA for Vietnam in implementing thematic areas of Gender, Youth, Ageing, Data, and Sexual and Reproductive Health.
The messages include “Offer Love, Not Violence: 24/7 toll-free hotline 18001768”; “My Daughter, My Future”; “Young people are agents of change”; “My Body, My Life. Exploring young people’s potential”; “Social inclusion: Key for successful ageing”; “Inter-generational solidarity for youth and elderly”; “People are the solution, not the problem”; “8 Billion Hopes and Dreams: Infinite Possibilities for ALL”; “No woman should die giving birth”; and “Equitable access of persons with disabilities to Sexual and Reproductive Health.”

Ms. Naomi Kitahara, UNFPA Representative in Vietnam, is the author of the amazing work. |
