Project Assistant

Hagar is a specialist trauma-informed care agency that works primarily with women and children suffering from trauma as a result of human trafficking, slavery and abuse in Cambodia, Afghanistan, and Vietnam. For the past few years we have implemented projects through partners in Singapore, the Solomon Islands and Myanmar. Hagar Vietnam was launched in 2009 in response to the growing magnitude of violence and human trafficking, as well as the severe lack of services available for victims/survivors in Vietnam.

Hagar Vietnam provided direct support to more than 756,000 women and child survivors in 2021. We respond to the needs of vulnerable women and children to receive multi-sectoral support and social services, and be supported by their family and local authorities with survivor-friendly strategies to prevent re-traumatization. We lead prevention activities to build the knowledge and resilience of communities about the right of everyone to be protected from unsafe migration, human trafficking, and child abuse.

We build the capacity of partners, including the Vietnamese Government’s Women Union and likeminded agencies, to deliver a specialized model of Trauma-Informed Care in communities. We facilitate empowerment opportunities for women and child survivors to demonstrate their leadership by facilitating voice and agency opportunities in their community, national and international forums. We use field experiences to advocate and influence the strengthening of national legislation and implementation standards, for survivor support and access to social services, whenever we can.

Hagar is committed to integrity, the prevention of sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment, gender equality, diversity, inclusion; and safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.
