To sensitize and inform the public on the issues of gender and sexuality, the Institute closely collaborates with the Vietnam National Television to produce broadcasts on sexuality and sexual health issues that are of the public concerns. These broadcasts have been repeatedly aired nationwide.
The Institute houses the Resource Center on Gender, Sexuality and Sexual Heath that has a large collection of printed materials and multimedia products of these topics. The Center is open to the public, mostly students and academics. The Center also host the seminar series ‘Gender, Sexuality and Society’ with participants coming from academia, LNGOs and INGOs. For international collaboration, the Center links to the Regional Resource Center of TARSHI for exchange information between Vietnam and the region.
In 2009, together with the Consultation of Investment in Health Promotion (CIHP) and the Hanoi Medical University, the Institute will host the VII Conference – International Association for the Study of Sexuality, Culture and Society. The importance of these events should be stressed as they would initiate broader scholarly and political attention to sexuality issues. The title of the IASSCS Conference is “Contested Innocence: Sexual Agency in Public and Private Space”.
