The exhibition showcases over 300 photos, documents, and artifacts highlighting the devastating impact of Agent Orange used by the US during the Viet Nam’s resistance, the country’s ongoing efforts to address its aftermath, and the movement to seek justice for victims.
The content is presented in themed sections: the Agent Orange disaster and its lingering pain; Viet Nam’s efforts to recover from chemical warfare; VAVA’s advocacy and justice campaigns; inspiring stories of victims overcoming adversity; nationwide support initiatives; Bac Giang’s and Military Region 1’s assistance for victims; and NACCET’s (National Action Centre for Toxic Chemicals and Environmental Treatment) projects to improve the lives of people with disabilities in heavily affected provinces.
Lieutenant General Nguyen Huu Chinh, VAVA President, emphasised the importance of international solidarity in alleviating victims’ suffering and combating the proliferation of chemical and mass destruction weapons.
