On 16 September in Hanoi, Guardian Girls International and the World Vovinam Federation launched the Guardian Girls Vovinam project. Using traditional Vietnamese martial art Vovinam, the project empowers women and girls to prevent and respond to gender-based violence, blending self-defense skills with confidence-building. Supported by UNFPA and the Government of Japan, Vietnam is the first ASEAN country to join this global initiative to advance gender equality and safety. #GuardianGirls #Vovinam
