Anh Duong House, the fifth of its kind in Vietnam, officially opened in Hoa Binh to provide essential, comprehensive and integrated services to women and girls who experience or are at risk of gender-based and domestic violence.
As with all One-Stop Service Centres, Anh Duong House is kitted out to support those living with disabilities as well as serve local ethnic minority communities. The house offers a wide range of services meeting international standards including health care, psychosocial support, counselling, social welfare services, emergency shelters, police protection, legal and justice services and referrals.
