An international initiative aimed at promoting the rights and protection of women and girl children through Vovinam, the traditional martial art of Vietnam, was launched at a ceremony hosted by the Vietnamese Embassy in Japan in Tokyo on May 15. The project, entitled Guardian Girls Vovinam (GGV) Japan, is jointly implemented by Guardian Girls International (GGI), a non-governmental organisation established in 2019, and the World Vovinam Federation (WVVF). It aims to promote women’s empowerment, ensure the safety of women and girl children, advance gender equality and strengthen female leadership. The initiative was previously launched in Vietnam with the co-organisation of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Japanese Embassy in Vietnam. VNA Photo: Xuân Giao
