BEIJING, Oct. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, called for promoting digital
and health education for girls and women in response to the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Peng, also a special envoy of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for the advancement of girls' and women's
education, made the remarks via video link at the 2021 UNESCO prize for girls'
and women's education on Friday.
Since the establishment of the prize through cooperation between China and
UNESCO in 2015, this award has continued to exert its positive influence and
inspire more people to devote themselves to the cause of girls' and women's
education, Peng said.
Hailing the positive influence of the prize, Peng said tens of thousands of
girls and women have mastered knowledge and skills, and gained the ability and
confidence to change their destiny and pursue dreams.
"More and more people care about and support girls' and women's education,
bringing together powerful forces to promote gender equality in global
education," Peng said.
Noting that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a seriously negative impact on the
education of girls and women, Peng called for precise and effective measures to
provide them with fair, quality education.
Peng called for comprehensively promoting the digital education of girls and
women, making full use of digital technology, sharing high-quality online
education resources, increasing educational support for girls and women from
poor areas and families, and improving their ability to use new technologies
for employment and entrepreneurship.
She also called for continuing to strengthen girls' and women's health
education, help them and their families to improve health awareness and prevent
various diseases, and comprehensively improve the physical and mental health of
girls and women.
The prize is the only prize given by UNESCO in the field of promoting girls'
and women's education. Director-general for UNESCO Audrey Azoulay said at the
ceremony that it has played a unique role in helping women and children realize
their dreams, especially in responding to the challenges of the pandemic.
