Due to lack of legal awareness, many women have become victims of fraud and property appropriation crimes in cyberspace, even getting into trouble with the law. Therefore, it is necessary to disseminate and raise awareness among people, especially women and children, about preventing and combating fraud crimes in cyberspace and social networking platforms.
With the attention and agreement of the People's Committees at all levels in receiving the project, the attention and facilitation of LAC has chosen the Women's Union of Ba Vi district as a partner to coordinate and implement the project in 13 communes and towns in the district.
