The “Prevention of violence against women/girls so as to build safe-spaces for women in educational universities in Viet Nam” project is a collaborative effort between Hanoi National University of Education (Vietnam), the University of Northampton (UK), and the University of Salford (UK), funded by the British Council. The project aims to address gender-based violence (GBV) in universities by fostering a safer and more inclusive educational environment.

Through research, training, and policy recommendations, the project seeks to empower students and lecturers with knowledge and skills to prevent and respond to GBV, while also promoting long-term institutional change. A key focus is enhancing gender equality in teacher training programs and higher education, ensuring that future educators contribute to a culture of safety and respect. By strengthening collaboration between UK and Vietnamese institutions, this initiative supports sustainable progress toward gender equality in Vietnam’s education system.
