Establish a Counseling Support Office for Victims of Domestic Violence in Dong Hy District, Thai Nguyen Province
In July 2006, a counseling and support office for the victims of DV was established in Dong Hy District, Thai Nguyen Province. Center for Studies and Applied Sciences in Gender, Family, Women and Adolescents (CSAGA) cooperated with the Women’s Union of Dong Hy District to set up the office and conduct activities. This was an important element of the project: “Building Capacity for Social Authorities in Support of Victims of DV,” sponsored by European Commison (EC). The project focused on building capacity for social workers to protect and support the victims of DV in Dong Hy, Thai Nguyen. At the same time, the Thai Nguyen Women’s Union, authorities, communicants and community improved awareness and provided tangible skills for preventing DV.
The office’s carefully selected counselors were trained in extensive training courses and visited CSAGA’s other counseling offices. CSAGA continues to support and supplement counselors’ knowledge and counseling skills, as well as ways to conduct the office most effectively.
The main objective of the office is supporting mental health for the victims of DV, sharing information on women’s rights and DV, and supporting the victims to build a safe plan for themselves and their children. The office also gives legal counseling to support the victims so they may prosecute the perpetrators. All the women who come here are offered the victim support addresses. The office assists all women who are victims or are at risk of becoming victims.
The office is open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, from 8 A.M to 5 P.M at 262 D, Committee of Population, Family and Children, Chua Hang Town, Dong Hy District, Thai Nguyen Province.
