September 6, 2019

Dear Marc,

Greetings from Hanoi!

With your kind support, the legal training took place last month. Despite the heavy rains  25 women out of total 35 women in our project attended the trainings.

Training topics included: Law on marriage and family, Law on Gender Equality, Law on domestic violence prevention and control, Children Law. 

The women were very excited to take part in that training. For many it was the first time they had a chance to meet with a lawyer and discuss about the problems in their family relating to training topics. They received valuable advice from the lawyer. The participants were divided into smaller groups for discussion on specific topics. 

After the training, the participants had a better understanding on legal, their rights and roles in the family. They were also provided with guidance on what and how to do when the domestic violence occurs and hotlines of centers/agencies that support victims of domestic violence. 

Here are some photos from the trainings – https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ti240chzs32b6lt/AAB6Q8pMKY5guT5MKWbeXc-Ga?dl=0

Thanks again for your kind support of this project. We are excited about supporting these women and their families. 

Best regards,

Trang
