Opening of the 'Rising From Broken' art exhibition.

This exhibition displays 20 portraits of 20 people. Among them, several are portraits of themselves by women who have been victims of human trafficking, violence, or sexual abuse in the past. Some are still struggling with the trauma, some have chosen to return to their abusive husbands but have gained enough knowledge to mitigate the abuse, and some are gradually overcoming their trauma to move towards a better life. The sad eyes, the bright smiles, or the dark shades in the paintings all conceal the emotions, the confessions, and the personal stories of each individual.

Come and see the paintings, to connect with and empathize with those facing difficult circumstances, and to share in some of their past pain. Besides the paintings, you will also learn more about human trafficking, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and their impact on Vietnamese women, as well as learn about Hagar's work in Vietnam assisting women and children.

At the exhibition, you can convey messages of love and sharing in many ways: write a message, draw a picture, or simply post it on social media. You can also choose to buy your favorite painting to directly support women.

The exhibition will take place from March 11th to March 17th at the Hilton Hanoi Opera Hotel lobby, 1 Le Thanh Tong Street, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi.
