Plan International and the Centre for Studies and Applied Sciences in Gender, Family, Women, and Adolescents (CSAGA) opened their “My Life, My Dream” photo exhibition in Hanoi on October 11.

The event is a response to International Children Day and the “Because I am a Girl” campaign. 

The exhibition’s 45 photos offer glimpses into the lives, the suffering, and the bravery of human trafficking and domestic abuse victims.

CSAGA Director Nguyen Van Anh described her vision of a safe and compassionate society that helps young female sexual exploitation victims rehabilitate.

“We have developed initiatives creating opportunities for women to improve their quality of life and involve themselves in all levels of society”, said Ms Anh.

Plan Vietnam Country Director Glenn Gibney said the five-year “Because I am a Girl” campaign will support some of society’s most vulnerable members, including young girls, members of ethnic minority groups, and disadvantaged urban residents. The campaign was launched one year earlier on October 11. Plan Vietnam is currently focused on ensuring young urban female citizens can rely on safe and convenient access to public spaces and services.

Plan Vietnam says “Because I am a Girl” has helped nearly 13,000 young girls during its first year, in areas including Hanoi, Ha Giang, Quang Binh, and Quang Tri and it aims to assist at least 100,000 young girls by 2015.
