It reflects and shares the experiences and lessons regarding the promotion of girls' education, gender equality in media, and sexuality health education and services for youth with the international community. The features are as the adoption of gender and development perspectives * the integration of a macro development context and typical case studies * the reflection of multidisciplinary approaches * the contribution to international concerns and dialogue.
