I. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT

Sexual awareness is an essential component of human well-being and healthy

relationships. It encompasses understanding one's own body, consent, boundaries,
reproductive health, reduced abortion rate, and the prevention of sexual violence.
Unfortunately, there remains a significant lack of comprehensive sexual education and
awareness, leading to a multitude of issues that affect individuals and society as a whole.
According to UNICEF, the abortion rate in Hanoi is the highest in 2020-2021 (196.9 per
1,000 live births). We as students of Hanoi University realize the importance of
comprehensive knowledge and awareness about safe sex and abortion. We chose to
carry out a project named " Safe Sex, Save Life - Condom are cheaper than aids”.

College is a time of profound personal growth, exploration, and transition into adulthood.
It is also a period when many young individuals start to engage in intimate relationships
and face various challenges related to sexual health and awareness. However, numerous
college students lack the necessary knowledge, skills, and resources to make informed
decisions about their sexual lives. This knowledge gap can lead to a range of issues,
including unplanned pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), sexual assault,
psychological distress and abortion.

"Sexual awareness" is a comprehensive sexual awareness initiative designed to address

these critical issues by promoting knowledge, empathy, and empowerment in the realm
of human sexuality. This project aims to provide accessible, evidence-based information
and resources to individuals of all Hanu’s students. By fostering sexual awareness
among students, this project aims to enhance the well-being of Hanu’s students, reduce
sexual health problems, the abortion rate, …. Ultimately, " Safe Sex, Save Life" strives
to empower Hanoi University’s students with the knowledge and skills they need to lead
healthy, satisfying, and respectful sexual lives as they journey through their college
years and beyond.

II. OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

1. Project goals

The overarching goal of the “Safe Sex, Save Life” Project is to foster a campus
environment that prioritizes knowledge, communication, and respect in matters of

4
sexual health. This initiative seeks to empower Hanu’s students with comprehensive
information about sexual well-being, relationships, consent, and diversity. By promoting
open dialogue and dispelling false information, the project aims to contribute to a
college culture where students can navigate their sexual experiences with confidence,
empathy, and a strong sense of personal responsibility.

2. Project objectives

In the college environment, where personal growth and exploration abound, the need for
a comprehensive “Safe Sex, Save Life” Project becomes increasingly evident. This
initiative aims to address the unique challenges and opportunities presented to college
students, fostering an environment that promotes empowerment, knowledge, and respect
in matters of sexual health. The objectives of such a project are multifaceted, designed
to equip students with the tools needed to make informed decisions, engage in open
communication, and contribute to a campus culture that values inclusivity and
understanding.

One of the primary objectives of the project is the implementation of targeted sexual
health workshops on the Hanu campus. These workshops serve as a cornerstone,
providing students with comprehensive information about sexual health, abortion,
relationships, and consent. By tailoring the content to address the specific needs and
concerns of college life, the project aims to empower students to make responsible
decisions regarding their sexual well-being. Through interactive sessions led by
qualified professionals, these workshops create a space for open dialogue, encouraging
students to ask questions, share experiences, and develop a nuanced understanding of
their sexual health.

A crucial facet of the project's objectives is the dispelling of information and promotion
of factual information. With the development of modern technology, student can easily
search for sexual information. But it also hard for them to distinguish between false
information and helpful knowledge. The project seeks to counteract these through
targeted myth-busting campaigns. Leveraging social media, campus events, and
collaborations with student organizations, the initiative aims to challenge stereotypes
and misinformation, creating a more informed and aware student body and health. By

5
actively engaging students in conversations that debunk myths, the project contributes
to shaping attitudes that are based on accurate knowledge.

Consent advocacy and skill-building represent another key objective of the Sexual
Awareness Project. Recognizing the importance of fostering a culture of consent on
Hanu’s campus, the project aims to equip students with the tools to navigate intimate
interactions responsibly. Through workshops, awareness campaigns, and the
development of skill-building programs, the project emphasizes the importance of
communication, boundaries, and mutual respect. By providing practical tools for
navigating consent, the initiative strives to create a college culture that values and
prioritizes respectful, consensual relationships.

An inclusive and intersectional approach is integral to the objectives of the Sexual

Awareness Project. The project inherits and continues the traditon of Hanu University is
to celebrate and respect the diversity within students, addressing various sexual
orientations, gender identities, and cultural backgrounds. By organizing events, forums,
and awareness campaigns that embrace inclusivity, the initiative seeks to foster an
environment where all students feel represented, acknowledged, and supported. This
objective ensures that the project is sensitive to the unique experiences and challenges
faced by students from different backgrounds.

Lastly, the establishment of peer-led initiatives and support networks is a fundamental

objective. Recognizing the influential role of peer interactions, the project aims to create
student-led forums, mentorship programs, and safe spaces for discussions. By
encouraging peer-to-peer engagement on sexual health topics, the project leverages
these connections for positive, supportive sexual health outcomes. This objective
recognizes the power of community support in creating a campus culture where students
feel comfortable discussing and seeking guidance on matters related to sexual health.

In conclusion, the objectives of this project are rooted in the belief that knowledge
empowers individuals to make informed choices, and open communication fosters a
campus culture that respects diversity and prioritizes consent. By implementing targeted
workshops, images exhibition, dispelling wrong information, advocating for consent,
embracing inclusivity, and fostering peer support, this initiative seeks to contribute to
the holistic development of Hanu’s students, equipping them with the skills and

6
knowledge necessary for responsible and respectful engagement with their sexual health.
Ultimately, the project endeavors to create a campus environment where sexual
awareness is not only encouraged but also celebrated as an integral aspect of personal
growth and well-being.

III. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION AND MANAGEMENT PLAN

1. Expected project results

The " Safe Sex, Save Life - Condom are cheaper than aids " project at Hanoi University
unfolds through a strategic blend of online and direct activities aimed at addressing the
critical gaps in sexual education. In the realm of online communication, the project
initiates a series of anonymous podcasts, delving into the narratives of individuals who
have encountered the repercussions of unsafe sex. Simultaneously, project information
is disseminated through the project website, providing a dynamic online space for
comprehensive sexual health resources.

The direct activities encompass a multi-phased approach. In the first phase, the project
publishes academic posts on gender, sex, and safe reproductive health. An anonymous
podcast series is launched, offering a platform for individuals to share their experiences
related to unsafe sex. Transitioning into the second phase in December 2023, the project
unfolds an exhibition on sexual health and reproductive education at Hanoi University's
campus. Concurrently, a workshop named "Sex-ed" is conducted, emphasizing the
importance of comprehensive sexual education.

The outcomes of the project are quantifiable and impactful. It reaches 2000 students
through the fan page and website, engages 500 students through an outdoor exhibition,
and raises awareness among 300 Hanoi University students (both men and women) and
20 teachers. The project's total reach extends to 820 individuals, directly benefiting from
the initiatives.

The implementation is organized with meticulous planning and thoughtful execution.

The two-phase approach ensures a gradual and impactful dissemination of information.
Academic posts and podcasts lay the foundation, followed by a tangible on-campus
presence through exhibitions and workshops. This approach harmonizes with the
project's overarching goal: to foster a campus culture that prioritizes knowledge,

7
 communication, and respect in sexual health matters. The " Safe Sex, Save Life " project
at Hanoi University stands poised to leave a lasting impact by equipping its community
with the knowledge and skills necessary for informed, responsible, and respectful
engagement with sexual health.

3. Project Beneficiaries

3.1. Direct beneficiaries

At the forefront of the project's direct beneficiaries are the 300 HANU students, a diverse
group representing both men and women. These students actively participate in
workshops, exhibitions, and online activities, immersing themselves in a journey of
experiential learning. The project becomes a conduit for these individuals to acquire a
profound understanding of gender, sex, and safe reproductive health. Additionally, the
20 teachers engaged in the educational initiatives emerge as direct beneficiaries, gaining
valuable tools and insights to guide discussions on sexual health within their classrooms.

3.2 Indirect Beneficiaries:

Beyond the immediate participants, the project's impact resonates with a wider audience.
The online communication strategy, including academic posts and an anonymous
podcast series, extends its reach to students who may not directly engage in workshops
or exhibitions. This wider university community becomes indirect beneficiaries,
benefiting from increased awareness and knowledge surrounding safe sex practices and
reproductive health. Furthermore, the potential outreach extends beyond the university,
encompassing individuals accessing the online content and, in turn, becoming indirect
beneficiaries of the project's efforts.

IV. PROJECT MONITORING AND EVALUATION

1. Monitoring

It can be seen that project monitoring is an essential and indispensable part of the project
management cycle. Project monitoring involves tracking metrics, progress, and related
project tasks to ensure everything is completed on time, on budget, and according to
12
project requirements and standards. With the project “ Safe Sex, Save Life - Condom
are cheaper than aids” We have a monitoring process that helps clarify project goals,
link activities to goals, set targets, report progress to management, and keep
management aware of emerging issues. generated during project implementation.

To begin the project, we established a six-position project unit to make project planning
and implementation simpler and monitoring easier. Thus, in general, the project
operating unit will be responsible for implementing and regularly monitoring all project
activities. Before implementing project activities, at the planning stage, we will hold
meetings with relevant parties to agree on the content of the project plan, especially
activities that stakeholders can participate in with the project team. In particular, after
each phase, we will send results reports to relevant parties to ensure the project is on the
right path and will be promptly adjusted if there are fundamental errors. In addition, for
the operation to run smoothly, we will hold a meeting 1 week before the official
operation to check all available resources.

After reports on the current status and conditions of the project implementation phase,
the evaluation will be the next step for us to evaluate the effectiveness of the project. In
particular, there will be ongoing periodic performance reports to help identify potential
problems such as staffing-related issues or a decline in student ratios in subsequent
activities. Therefore, we will be able to take appropriate measures to promptly respond
to those obstacles. Furthermore, during all stages of project management, we will be
accountable to stakeholders for operations, project and financial outcomes, etc. Finally,
there is the principle of “learning”, essentially through errors or problems that arise
during the activities and are also noted in the reflection sheet, they will help your project
team. We draw some experimental experiences to apply to the next activities and make
them more feasible. It is worth noting that monitoring will be conducted at HANU and
will also be carried out through regular team meetings. Therefore, to achieve this, a work
plan using the Master Progress Chart for a specific timeline along with work deadlines
will be designed and used by us. So we can guarantee what we will do as planned.

13
2.Evaluation

In terms of evaluation, our goal is to make sure we've built a cohesive team to build a
practical project for the students at Hanoi University. After each stage of organizing the
workshop and exhibition, we will evaluate the effectiveness and progress of the project.
Besides, communication activities through social media are assessed on an ongoing
basis weekly during the process of the project. At the same time, we will undertake a
process evaluation to ensure that we are achieving project objectives on time and
overcoming barriers as they emerge. Specifically, we will hold internal weekly meetings
and weekly reports with sponsors to check and evaluate each proposed disintegration
activity.

In terms of evaluation, our goal is to make sure we've built a cohesive team to build a
practical project. There are five main criteria to assess the project as follows:

- Relevance:
o Are we doing the right thing?
o How significant is the intervention in relation to Hanu students?
- Effectiveness:
o Have the project's objectives been met and what issues have been resolved?
- Efficiency:
o Were the project objectives completed on time?
o To what extent are activities implemented as planned and according to the
set deadlines?
o Have all financial and human resource contributions been provided on
time and have been used effectively?
- Impact:
o What causes the delays and how are corrective actions carried out?
o How much of an influence did the initiative have on the attitudes of FIS
students?
- Sustainability:
o Are the benefits or consequences long-lasting?
o Which key components or areas needs greater attention for the project to
have a better chance of being sustainable?

14
 o How is the sustainability or permanence of the intervention and its effects
to be assessed?
