Summary of publication
The contribution from DFAT aims to support the Second National Study on Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG) in Viet Nam. This study will help address a number of gender related issues in Vietnam, including the prevalence, frequencies and forms of gender-based violence against women and girls aged 15 to 60 and the extent to which VAWG is associated with a range of health and socio-economic outcomes. It also tries to identify factors that may either protect or put women and girls at risk of gender-based violence. At the same time, the study will document and provide a comparison of strategies and services women and girls use to deal with gender-based violence, perceptions of VAWG, and the extent to which women and girls understand their legal rights. Economic costs of VAWG at different levels, e.g. household, regional and national will be studied. Finally, it will provide a brief summary of changes in the VAWG situation in Viet Nam during the period 2010-2018.
