Media training on gender equality, violence against women held in Can Tho
More than 30 journalists, reporters, and media workers from 20 central and local press and media agencies attended training on gender equality and violence against women and girls in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho on October 28 – 29.
The session, organised by the UN Women and the Canadian Embassy in Vietnam, took place ahead of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and Girls (November 25) and the national action month for gender equality and gender-based domestic violence prevention and response.
The training helped participants understand the principles when reporting on violence against women and girls, and definitions of gender-based violence in cyberspace. It also explored the root causes and risks to journalists while working to help them create scenarios and safety plans. Participants also learned about global response solutions to gender-based violence in cyberspace.
