On the 25th, a delegation of Vietnamese government officials visiting for benchmarking the operation of projects supporting victims of 'gender violence' (sexual violence) visited the Gyeonggi-do Women and Family Foundation.

The delegation of 16 officials and related personnel from regions in Vietnam where one-stop service facilities for victims of gender violence have been established, including Ho Chi Minh City, Quang Ninh Province, Thanh Hoa, and Da Nang, reviewed the foundation’s overall operational know-how, policy research related to gender violence, and victim support projects.

Having arrived in Korea on the 23rd to gain international experience in establishing and operating one-stop service centers for women victims of violence in Vietnam, they will stay in the country until the 27th, visiting institutions supporting female victims of violence, including the Gyeonggi-do Women and Family Foundation, to benchmark project outcomes and institutional operational expertise.

The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) have been providing financial and technical support since 2017 to establish and expand ‘An Duong House’ (benchmarked after Korea’s Sunflower Center), a gender violence victim support institution protecting women victims of violence, aiming to resolve deep-rooted gender inequality and promote a healthy family culture in Vietnam.

Kim Hye-sun, CEO of the Gyeonggi-do Women and Family Foundation, explained, “The Gyeonggi-do Women and Family Foundation is a leading institution in women and family policy research and projects in Gyeonggi-do, and it is the first metropolitan local government institution in Korea to establish and operate the Gyeonggi-do Digital Sexual Crime Victim One-Stop Support Center.” She added, “Recently, our foundation, together with Gyeonggi-do, launched and is operating a task force to build an integrated response system for gender violence.”
