An exhibition of photographs taken by women in A Luoi mountainous
district in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue was opened in Hanoi
on October 22 with the objective of promoting gender equality and
preventing gender-based violence.
Entitled “We see, we speak out”, the event is co-organised by the Centre for Creative Initiatives in Health and Population (CCIHP) and the Women’s Union of A Luoi district.
The five-day exhibition showcases photographs that portray daily life, especially for women and children in A Luoi, including the topic of gender-based violence.
Gender-based violence is a serious global concern. In Vietnam, research conducted with families in 2010 showed that 34 percent of Vietnamese women have suffered from physical and sexual violence and more than 58 percent of Vietnamese women have been the victim of a form of domestic violence.
The exhibition is part of the Photo Voice project, which aims to encourage women in A Luoi to tell stories about their lives and address issues on gender equality and gender-based violence prevention. It calls for the joint effort of members of the community, especially men, to support gender equality in A Luoi and Vietnam in general.
As part of the project, CCIHP organised meetings for women in the district to train them on how to use photography to share their stories and talk about gender equality in their daily lives.
The exhibition lasts until October 26. A similar exhibition is running in A Luoi district from October 15-31.-VNA
