Preventing and combating domestic violence is not the job of one person, but the responsibility and love of the whole community.

The skit reenacting the reality of domestic violence attracted the attention of women's union members.

In Dak Lak province, many creative and close communication activities have been implemented such as: skits, folk songs, short films, seminars, club activities, models of "Community Communication Team", "Leader of Change". These activities have partly changed awareness in the community, spreading messages of love, respect and gender equality in each home and community. Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Thuy also believes that after this program, good messages and good practices will continue to be spread and replicated, so that each village, hamlet, and home can together build homes full of love, without prejudice and violence.
