This was announced by head of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s Family Department Do Hoang Du during a conference to review the models of intervention in the northern province of Nam Dinh on December 10.
The models have been introduced to all 63 provinces and cities nationwide which focus on the establishment of family clubs and quick-response teams to deal with domestic violence.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has provided financial assistance to set up and develop five clubs and five teams in each province and city.
Over the past two years, these clubs have organised meetings to increase members’ awareness about cultural traditions and the new regulations on families, gender equality and domestic violence.
The quick-response teams have protected victims of domestic violence cases and motivated people to become involve in preventing and controlling domestic violence.
Du said many localities nationwide have increased the number of such clubs and groups and 44 out of 63 provinces and cities plan to invest 40 billion VND to expand these models between 2010-2015, he added.
Vietnam will also implement a national programme on domestic violence prevention in the 2010 - 2020 period as well as promote international cooperation and international and social organisations in this field./.
