"Village Girl" project

Initial Situation / Problem Statement

Girls in rural areas of Kyrgyzstan are very vulnerable and insecure. They are targeted for bride-kidnapping, domestic violence and early childhood marriages. According to UNDP鈥檚 report in 2016 on 鈥淰iolence against Women and Girls鈥, the cases of early marriage are noted in all regions, but the most widespread were in Naryn and Chui oblasts (about 13%), the least - in Bishkek (2.4%). As it is analyzed in the report, more than 20% of marriages in the Kyrgyz Republic happen through the abduction of a woman/girl. The abduction of a woman/girl for marriage in rural areas occurs twice as much as in urban areas.

Thus, girls are in a very vulnerable situation, which is alarming and requires taking action. They are human beings and should have freedom to make their own decisions. Therefore, it is crucial to invest in their healthy, happy and successful future, as they are going to bring a new generation.

The project 鈥淰illage Girl鈥 is the continuation of 2018 activities that was led by Meerim Nurlanbekova, AUCA alumni. In 2019, Aigul Saparova took the initiative to continue this project, the focus of which is creating a positive 鈥榞irl power鈥 culture. In addition, the second round of the Village Girl Project included the objective of improving the relationship between a daughter and parents. Success, self-confidence, responsibility and being independent start right from the families. It is crucial for the teenagers and parents to have this unique connection because the stronger the family, the stronger the youth!

Target Group

16 former participants of the first round of the project in order to enhance the skills and knowledge they gained the year before. They are 16-17 year-old girls studying in 10th and 11th grades from four schools (i.e., Kydyraliev, Jundubaeva, Kalygul Bai uulu, Arabaev schools) in Kochkor village, Naryn region.

Additionally, 13 parents went through a special 2 hours long training on building stronger relationships with their daughters.

Goal Statement

To create a positive 鈥榞irl power鈥 culture by empowering high school girls in remote Kochkor village, Naryn region; to enable them to reach their full potential and nurture their leadership skills by organizing 3-day workshop and panel discussions on capacity building and self-development. The objective is to make them shift the prevailing paradigm of girl culture in their village and become more confident in shaping their own future. In other words, to raise an awareness of girl鈥檚 power and girl鈥檚 empowerment by equipping these girls with necessary skills for them to create a life they wish to live in.听

Methodology

First, 3-day workshops on gaining hard and soft skills and panel discussions on building self-love, self-confidence and strong parent-daughter relationship in Kyrgyz language are organized. Each workshop is carefully structured by the trainers and backed up with their real stories of failure and success.听

Second, a gynecologist is invited to conduct a session on reproductive health awareness for girls. Also, a professional trainer Mrs. Seyil is hired to lead our adult learning session for parents called 鈥淢y Child Is Not Alone!鈥; she works as a psychologist in Bishkek and often travels around Kyrgyzstan conducting trainings for school teachers, parents and the youth in general.听

Third, after the workshop, participants should conduct at least three workshops听by themselves in their schools for other girls within one academic year. They are to be supervised by Cholponai Batyrbekova, a local leader and an alumna of the FLEX program, via regular meetings once a month.
