VGP – A course about an effective model for preventing violence against women and HIV infection is held in the central city of Da Nang from December 23-25.
The event, co-organized by the municipal women’s union, the UN Women and Spanish-based non-governmental organization PyD also drew the attendance of representatives from Laos.
Participants will be equipped with skills to mobilize the community’s support in curbing violence against females and girls.
In addition, they will share personal experiences, discuss topics as well as propose possible measures to deal with the pressing issue that has caused serious consequences globally.
The training aims at building capacity for learners to adapt the model in their community, thus, spurring local-level activism and social mobilization, said Robyn Yaker from the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women).
The UN Women will join hands with Viet Nam and other Southeast Asian countries to eradicate domestic abuse, she added.
It will set part of the human-resources-building basis for a UN Women’s 2013 – 2015 program, which focuses on advancing the implementation of laws and provision of services to women experiencing violence in Asia and the Pacific, particular in Southeast Asia.
