The project aims to reduce gender-based violence against women and girls with disabilities in Nghe An province by enhancing the capacity of women and girls with disabilities and their communities to address gender-based violence, and by strengthening legal counseling and support for women and girls with disabilities.

The practice of legal aid for persons with disabilities, especially women and girls, is a necessary and urgent task. Understanding the importance of this activity, the practice of legal aid for persons with disabilities was promoted in the project “Strengthening the capability to retaliate against gender-based violence against women and girls with disabilities in Nghe An province". One of the project's highlights was the exceedingly smooth collaboration between the Legal Aid Center of the State of Nghe An Province and its partners in the project, and the efficiency of the Center's legal aid team was enhanced remarkably, especially in tackling the issue of gender-based violence against women and girls with disabilities here. 

The purpose of this project is to disseminate in-depth knowledge about the right to education for girls with disabilities, enhance the capacity of women and girls with disabilities in monitoring disability rights, promote gender equality, and positively transform the awareness of both the community and people with disabilities regarding disability issues.
