• Project 8 Summary Conference: Promoting gender equality in ethnic minority and mountainous areas
  • Provincial Women's Union: Implementing Project 8 in 14 communes, wards and towns in the province
  • Project 8 promotes equality and eliminates gender stereotypes

After the administrative unit arrangement, Khanh Hung commune now has 7 hamlets participating in Project 8, including: Kinh Dung A, Kinh Dung B, Kinh Hang B, Kinh Hang C, Factory A, Factory B and Factory C.

Community communication group meetings to promote knowledge about gender equality and domestic violence prevention in Khanh Hung commune attracted the participation of many ethnic minority women and men.

Implementing the project activities, the commune has regularly organized training courses and communication sessions on gender equality, domestic violence prevention and child protection. The activities attracted a large number of people, especially ethnic minority women. Thanks to direct and close access to knowledge, women are increasingly confident in communication, boldly participating in community activities and applying knowledge to build a prosperous and happy family.

Ms. Quach Thi Kim Luong (yellow shirt) and members participated in displaying products at the Women's Congress of Khanh Hung commune, term 2025-2030.

According to Ms. Quach Thi Kim Luong, Head of the Women's Union of Kinh Dung B Hamlet: "The activities of Project 8 have clearly changed people's awareness. Women know how to protect themselves, boldly speak up when facing problems, and are more confident in participating in community activities. People in the hamlet are also more united, supporting each other to build a safe living environment for women and children."

Along with communication, the Community Communication Team and Trusted Address models in the community continue to be effective, becoming a safe haven for women in difficulty or suffering from domestic violence. The Commune Women's Union also focuses on mobilizing all children, especially ethnic minority children, to go to school and enjoy support policies.

Tran Lan Anh, a 6th grade student from Kinh Dung B hamlet, shared: “I am very happy to be able to go to school and receive a scholarship. I am very grateful for the care of the Women's Union members. I promise to try to study better.”

One of the most positive changes in the implementation of Project 8 in Khanh Hung is the change in men's awareness. Previously, many old concepts such as "housework is for women to take care of", or childcare and upbringing are mainly assigned to women, were still popular. However, through communication sessions and small group dialogues, many men have proactively participated in activities and discussed the role of husbands and fathers in modern families. Sharing housework, raising children together and supporting wives in community activities has become more common.

Ms. Phan Cam Loan, President of the Women's Union of Khanh Hung commune, actively disseminates knowledge about gender equality and social security policies to members.

Mr. Luu Thanh Truong, Kinh Dung B hamlet, said: “By participating in training and communication sessions, I understand more clearly the responsibilities of men in the family. It is not enough to just worry about doing things, but also to listen and share with my wife and children. I also actively promote to local people. In recent years, I have seen less quarrels in my neighborhood.”

In addition, the Commune Women's Union also organizes many livelihood training courses, supports women in borrowing capital for economic development, contributing to sustainable poverty reduction and promoting gender equality.

Ms. Phan Cam Loan, President of the Women's Union of Khanh Hung Commune, said: "To improve knowledge and economic power for women, the Women's Union of the commune actively uses social networks to quickly bring the Party and State's policies and guidelines to members. The Union also regularly introduces good practices and exemplary women for women to learn from, strive to develop the economy, and build stable families."

Thanks to the participation of the political system and the response of the people, the activities of Project 8 in Khanh Hung are increasingly going into depth. Women are more confident, children are better protected, men are more aware of building equal and happy families. With positive results, affirming the important role of Project 8 in building a safe, civilized and sustainably developing Khanh Hung community.
