Hagar is a specialist trauma-informed care agency that works primarily with women and children who are suffering from trauma as a result of human trafficking, slavery and abuse in Cambodia, Afghanistan, and Vietnam.

We build the capacity of partners, including the Vietnamese Government’s Women Union, to deliver a specialized model of care in communities. We facilitate opportunities for women and child survivors to demonstrate their leadership by facilitating voice and agency opportunities. We use field experiences to advocate and influence the strengthening of national legislation and implementation standards, for survivor support and access to social services.

Hagar international is looking for experienced, qualified consultant for training on ENHANCING THE QUALITY OF MANAGING INTERVENTION ACTIVITIES TO SUPPORT PEOPLE WITH GENDER BASED VIOLENCE.
