The exhibition is being held by the Ministry of Public Security (MoPSC) and the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women).
63 photos inspired by the result of the 2019 National Survey on Violence Against Women conducted by the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, the General Statistics Office, and the United Nations Population Fund. It showed that 63% of married women have experienced violence in their lifetime, with less than 10% seeking help.
The photos highlight the crucial role of the People's Public Security forces in protecting women and children from gender-based violence. The images are presented in a positive light, encouraging women and girls who have experienced violence to seek support from public security forces. This is the first-ever exhibition in Vietnam on the subject.
The exhibition will run at the People’s Public Security Museum until December 10./.
