Vietnam

Vietnam, one of South East Asia's rapidly developing countries, continues to be a significant source of sex trafficking and forced labor.

Approximately 396,000 people are estimated to be living in modern slavery within the country. Despite its economic growth, Vietnam grapples with root causes of human trafficking, including poverty, limited education, and scarce job opportunities. These challenges persist even amidst the country's impressive economic progress over the past few decades.

Our Projects

  • The Whole Journey

    Through the Whole Journey project, Hagar focuses on supporting survivors, particularly women and children, in their healing process. By providing access to consistent and comprehensive social services, including counseling, medical care, education, and vocational training, we empower survivors to move beyond the trauma of their past and embrace a new beginning. This holistic approach ensures that survivors receive the support they need at every step of their journey to recovery.

  • Decreasing Gender-based violence in ethnic communities in northern Vietnam

    Gender-based violence remains a pressing concern in Yen Bai Province. Hagar Vietnam partners with the Yen Bai Women's Union to establish savings and loans groups for survivors, women at risk, and community members. By providing technical support and raising awareness about gender-based violence, we seek to create violence-free communities where women and children are protected from human trafficking, gender-based violence, sexual abuse, and exploitation.
