Hanoi (VNA) - Six renowned mothers in Vietnamese showbiz will join hands in amusical project launched by songwriter-singer Trang Phap to protest childsexual abuse.
EntitledDung De Con Mot Minh (Don’t Let Your Children Alone), the project aims toenhance awareness about child sexual abuse and seek solutions to protectchildren from a social evil that has been emerging in recent years.
Theproject includes a song composed by Trang Phap, Dung De Con Mot Minh, a musicvideo, viral videos and clips featuring the famous mothers, who will be seensharing information on ways to protect children and ensure their safety.
Sixmothers, Hong Nhung, Thu Minh, Doan Trang, Thao Trang, Tra My Idol, TruongQuynh Anh, together with Trang Phap, will become representatives of the projectby lending their voices and using their influence to jointly contribute to theefforts to protect children.
“Ihave nurtured the idea for the project for a long time,” said Trang Phap, theproject initiator. “I have read about and shed tears on the plight of manychildren who were sexually abused. Many Vietnamese parents tend to consider sexas a sensitive issue and avoid talking about it with their children, whichconsequently leads to the children’s lack of knowledge about sex. As a result,they are more likely to become victims of sexual predators.”
“Ihave cancelled all my personal musical projects, since early this year, toconcentrate on this one. I hope that its message, ‘Don’t Leave Your Children BeAlone’, will reach everyone and improve people’s awareness about theseriousness of this social evil and provide vital practical knowledge on how toprotect the children,” she added.

The recent increase of child sexual abuse cases has raised public concern, which requires authorities to scrutinise the implementation of signed international conventions.
Vietnam has made major strides in caring for, educating and protecting children over the past 27 years since the country became the first in Asia and second in the world to ratify the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in 1990.
A new law on protecting and caring for children became effective on June 1, with a variety of regulations aiming to comprehensively intensify children’s right enforcement.
For the first time, the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) has granted Vietnam hosting rights for the two championships, including the Asian women’s solo category, which debuts this year as an officially recognised event.
Eight teams will join the tournament, divided into two groups. Group A features Vietnam, the Philippines, Sichuan Club (China), and Australia, while Group B consists of Vietnam U21, Korabelka Club (Russia), Taiwan (China), and U21 Thailand.
Despite strong home support and high expectations, Vietnam were unable to overcome the defending champions, who secured their third consecutive win over Vietnam in a regional final, following previous victories in 2014 and 2023.
The event, part of Vietnam’s cultural diplomacy strategy through 2030, was jointly organised by the Vietnamese Embassy in Venezuela and USM’s Faculty of International Relations. It attracted thousands of students from universities across Venezuela.
For the first time, Vietnamese audiences will have the opportunity to experience the ballet masterpiece "Don Quixote" in its original version by renowned choreographer Marius Petipa.
The contest carried deep meaning as it was the first time the life of Vietnamese women abroad had been highlighted as the central theme, said poet and writer Nguyen Quang Thieu, Chairman of the Vietnam Writers’ Association.
The event formed part of Vietnam’s ongoing campaign to seek UNESCO World Heritage status for the complex at the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, scheduled to take place in Paris in July.
Creative cultural festivals are fast emerging as a new catalyst for tourism development in Vietnam, as localities increasingly invest in these vibrant events on a more systematic and larger scale.
This marks the first time Vietnam has hosted a continental-level Muay event which will feature competitions across 28 weight categories in combat and eight performance categories.
Coming to the Vietnamese booth, visitors had the chance to take part in a bamboo dance, a workshop on painting woven bamboo or rattan, or quizzes about Vietnam.
These are impressive achievements, not only showing the efforts and prowess of Vietnamese paddlers but also serving as proof of the sports sector’s strategic and systematic investment.
The cultural event in Canberra not only fostered cultural exchanges between Vietnam and Australia but also contributed to promoting Vietnam’s image internationally
The U23 competition will run from June 16 to 22, followed by the U17 event from June 23 to 28, while athletes competing in the U23 category will undergo weight and skill checks ahead of the matches starting June 18, while similar checks for U17 athletes will take place before June 23.
Vietnam continues to sit just behind continental powerhouses Japan, the Republic of Korea, Australia, China, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
The event served as a vibrant display of solidarity, promoting peace, cooperation, and development through cultural dialogue, and reaffirmed HCM City's role as a dynamic hub for cultural diplomacy and international friendship.
The Indian Film Festival not only honours the artistic value of cinema but also contributes to strengthening the friendship and enhancing cultural exchange between the people of Son La in particular and Vietnam in general and India.
An art exchange programme between Vietnam and Cambodia was held on the evening of June 13 in the Mekong Delta province of Vinh Long as part of the 2025 Cambodia Culture Week in Vietnam.
