Better skills to provide health and justice services for women and girls subject to violence
(LĐXH)- Some 30 justice and 30 health workers from Quang Ninh province and 2 health staff from Dak Lak Social Protection Center have enhanced their skills to provide health and justice services for women and girls who are subject to violence, taking the survivor-centered approach.
The trainings aimed to improve the capacity of service providers to respond to gender-based violence (GBV) and support for GBV survivors at different levels, as well as to strengthen the referral systems.
Under the framework of the project "Building a Model to Respond to Violence against Women and Girls in Quang Ninh for the period 2019-2021," funded by UNFPA and Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), UNFPA introduced the first-ever One Stop Service Center, commonly known as "Anh Duong House," in Quang Ninh.
Anh Duong House offers integrated services to survivors of gender-based violence, including healthcare, counseling, social welfare services, emergency shelters, police protection, legal, justice, and referral services.
To ensure the sustainability of the Anh Duong House, KOICA funded a Bridge Phase entitled “The follow-up activities of building a model to respond to violence against women and girls in Vietnam, July 2022-June 2023”./.
