With the corruption of social morality and ethics among women and youths in the Dominican Republics, the government has felt the need for policies on mental independence education. Since 2011 WFWP Japan has been requested by local schools and teachers to provide AIDS preventive and family reconstruction educational seminars with the original materials “Free Teens,” “Living in the Era of AIDS,” “Textbook for Character Education Seminars,” and “Amor Puro.” Moreover, female politicians and NGO women leaders were inspired to cooperate in implementing organized educational activities.

According to data from World Data Atlas, the rate of HIV-infected people aged 15 to 49 in the Dominican Republic was 2.4% in 1999 but decreased to 1% in 2016.

New Developments:

  • Around 830 students attend 48 lectures in one year at Rudy Maria Comas Bautista Junior and Senior High School.

  • In 2018 WFWP held the “Pure Love Movement Culture Festival” with the cooperation of Alcarrizos City, and mobilized 500 young people and residents, including sport-related teams and youth-related movements.

  • In 2018 WFWP held a pure love education and family reconstruction seminar co-hosted by the Department of Youth of the First Lady’s office and the psychology teachers’ group.
