Monday November 25th marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and the beginning of the ‘16 Days of Activism’. This campaign calls for action against one of the world’s most persistent human rights violations – violence against women and girls.
At CKC, we are committed to developing and modeling gender-transformative initiatives to achieve gender equity and respond to gender-based violence. Our efforts include:
- Delivering Gender Equality Awareness Initiatives: We strive to engage with communities about the importance of gender equality and the impact of violence against women.
- Hosting Gender Transformative Workshops: We provide workshops for individuals and organizations to foster understanding and skills that challenge gender norms and promote equality.
- Disaggregating Research and Data by Sex: We ensure our research reflects gender disparities, helping to inform effective interventions and policies.
We all have a role to play in preventing gender-based violence. Join CKC in committing to taking action.

In early October 2024, CKC, along with nearly 10 partner organisations, had the opportunity to participate in a transformative training course conducted by the Australian Volunteers Program in Hanoi. This training was specifically designed to enhance the capacity of managerial staff in implementing sustainable governance and development practices, with a particular focus on updating and strengthening the Preventing Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Harassment (PSEAH) Policy. The training program covered two primary phases:
- Identifying risks related to sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment, and
- Developing a tailored PSEAH Policy.
Following the training, CKC is committed to integrating the PSEAH Policy as part of a comprehensive set of protection and welfare policies in the workplace. Continuously reviewing and enhancing these policies is CKC’s responsibility in minimizing risks and fostering a safe, healthy, and sustainable work environment that meets current international standards.
At CKC, we are dedicated to implementing policies on Child Protection, Health and Safety, Environmental Sustainability (Green), and Quality Control.

In celebration of World Vegan Day on 1st November, CKC is excited to announce that our project – ‘Beyond Veganism as an Environmental Responsibility and Sustainable Way of Living’ – has successfully secured funding from The Vegan Society. This Project aims to raise awareness about the connection between veganism, healthy living, and environmental protection while simultaneously supporting local vegan businesses. One of the exciting activities we will be undertaking is co-working with vegan businesses and local environmental organizations to create a digital map that showcases vegetarian cuisine in relation to environmental protection and sustainable lifestyles.
Exciting vegan activities are on the horizon! Get ready for a series of engaging events and initiatives designed to promote sustainability and environmental awareness in our community. Stay tuned for details!
