Traditional family structures are shifting, as adolescents adopt global values and consider their role in one of the top six countries in the world most impacted by climate change. Adolescents are also at the forefront of driving social change and acceptance in areas such as gender diversity and sexual health. But their voices are often muted within the Vietnamese government system. This is a crucial moment to support adolescents to map out their role and envision the future of their country.
HCA has been active in Vietnam since October 2020, with a grant to launch the project ‘Co-creating Healthy Cities for Adolescents and Youth’ in Da Nang during Phase I (2018−2022).
