Vietnam- Hien Linh parish teaches children about sexual abuse
Child
sexual abuse is a growing concern in Vietnam. In the last three years, an
average of 1,000 child sexual abuse cases were reported every year. Roughly one

accompany children and adolescents in learning proper sex education. Read more…
