The model of Peace House Shelter: connection & support for victims of gender-based violence
Under the Vietnam Women’s Union, the shelter named Peace House was officially established on March 8, 2007. At that time, the situation of domestic violence and human trafficking in Vietnam was alarming: there was no official law on prevention of these issues, not enough facilities to support victims, not enough support from the public for the shelter model. Despite these difficulties, given the actual needs, experiences from neighboring countries, and international support, the Vietnam Women's Union managed to establish 2 branches of the Peace House Shelter to support women and children who are victims of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and human trafficking. The Center for Women and Development (CWD) was assigned the responsibility to manage, operate, and develop the shelter. By 2018, the Peace House Shelter had its third branch opened in Can Tho city.

However, the memories of Peace House Shelter are still in my mind.
