Launching a project to prevent domestic violence.

On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, November 25th, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, in collaboration with the United Nations Population Fund in Vietnam and the Korea International Cooperation Agency, launched the project "Enhancing Capacity for Prevention and Response to Domestic Violence, 2025-2026," to be implemented nationwide.

The project aims to strengthen the system for preventing and responding to domestic violence, especially in the context of digital transformation and the increasing complexity of gender-based violence forms using technology.

Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Trinh Thi Thuy emphasized that the Law on Prevention and Control of Domestic Violence in 2022 and Decree 76/2023/ND-CP are important legal foundations, but it is necessary to strengthen communication, raise community awareness and improve the quality of support services for victims.

The project focuses on building and operating a national hotline for preventing and combating domestic violence, establishing inter-sectoral coordination mechanisms, implementing digital communication initiatives, and encouraging the participation of youth, men, and children. Simultaneously, the project will provide technical and managerial support to ensure progress and effectiveness.

The project "Enhancing Capacity for Prevention and Response to Domestic Violence, 2025-2026" will be implemented nationwide.

Matt Jackson, Head of the United Nations Population Fund in Vietnam, emphasized: “To effectively respond to domestic violence, we need not only strong laws but also the collective efforts of society, digital capacity, and sustainable investment to ensure that no victim is left behind.” He also warned about gender-based violence using technology, such as online harassment, threats, digital surveillance, or sharing sensitive images without consent, which exacerbates the victims' trauma.

The project, implemented by the Department of Grassroots Culture, Family and Libraries, aims to strengthen the capacity of service providers, reinforce inter-sectoral coordination, promote safe practices in the digital environment, improve data and monitoring systems, and maintain essential support services for victims of violence. The long-term goal is to institutionalize and scale up effective, evidence-based intervention models.

According to a 2019 national survey, nearly 63% of women have experienced at least one form of violence from their husband/partner, 31.6% experienced violence in the past 12 months, and the economic damage was equivalent to 1.81% of GDP. Over half of the victims (52.5%) did not share their experience with anyone. The project is expected to contribute to improving prevention capacity, promoting early reporting, and protecting victims in both the physical and digital environments.
