Exhibition on domestic violence in Hanoi

A week-long exhibition on domestic violence, the first of its kind in Vietnam, opened at No.29 Trang Tien Street in Hanoi on November 23.

The event, entitled “Nuoc mat cuoi” (Smiling tear), is part of activities to mark International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (November 25).

On display are photos and objects telling true stories of women who face domestic violence which have been collected by non-governmental organizations from the victims.

Among them are farmers’ pipes, hammers, and dog’s chains used by husbands to hit their wives.

The exhibition aims to gather support from the community in the struggle against domestic violence to ensure gender equality in society.
