Empower Abused and Trafficked Vietnamese Women

Summary

Hagar Vietnam provides holistic recovery services to empower 14 Vietnamese women who have been trafficked for sex or abused by violent husbands.

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

Increasing numbers of women in Vietnam suffer domestic abuse or are trafficked for sex or labor. These women typically come from poor families, with little or no education. They have few opportunities for safe and dignified employment. In addition, victim services are severely undeveloped in Vietnam, leaving thousands of women in vulnerable situations, with little hope for their futures. Sadly, the children of these women also become increasingly vulnerable and susceptible to abuse, themselves.

How will this project solve this problem?

Hagar will provide personal development, job readiness, and vocational training to 14 women. Then, survivors will be supported as they reintegrate to society, hold their first jobs, and move from transitional housing to independent living.

Potential Long Term Impact

Abused and trafficked women will gain tools for a successful and independent future, in order live empowered, successful and independent lives. In some families, generations of individuals will be affected when the cycle of abuse ends.

Project Message

“I feel more self-confident and strong now. And, I possess a value that is respected by others. I have the right to decide for myself what I can do, and what I want to do…to live a life without fear."
- Trang, Vietnamese trafficking survivor
