A training course for reporters in southern provinces was held in the southern coastal province of Ba Ria-Vunng Tau on November 7, aiming to improve their knowledge in human trafficking and crime prevention.
During the three-day course, participants heard reports on human trafficking prevention in Vietnam as well as in the Sub-Mekong Region; domestic and international legal framework on the work; and human trafficking signs.
They also learnt about the State’s policies on fighting human trafficking and crimes and protecting and assisting trafficking victims.
