The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) has allocated 5.5 million USD to fund two news projects to support the Government of Vietnam with technical and financial support from UNFPA to address gender-based violence against women and girls, especially marginalised groups such as people living with disabilities and LGBTQI+ communities.

Vietnam’s determination to promote gender equality and to address gender-based violence is reaffirmed through the opening of another One-Stop Service Centre (Anh Duong House) in the northern province of Hoa Binh on January 9.

Ambassador of Spain to Vietnam Carmen Cano de Lasala and UNFPA Country Representative Matt Jackson have jointly penned an article on the occasion of Human Rights Day (December 10), saying diversity, inclusion, and non-discrimination remain at the heart of Vietnam’s development agenda.

The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) have pledged to undertake the follow-up activities of building a model in response to violence against women and girls in Vietnam.

Representatives from the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) made a visit to “Anh Duong” (Sunshine) House – a shelter of supporting essential services to survivors of violence against women and girls based in the northern province of Quang Ninh on October 22.
