Ha Giang is a mountainous border province in the North of Vietnam, with a strategic location in terms of politics, economy, national defense and security of our country, to be home to many ethnic minorities. In recent years, with the attention and investment of the Party and State, along with the drastic efforts of the Border Guard, police, functional forces and local authorities, the illegal human trafficking across the border has been prevented and achieved many results. However, besides that, this buying and selling situation in the border area of the province is still quite complicated. Among the victims of buying and selling, the majority are ethnic minority women. When trafficked back, victims face many difficulties in reintegrating into the community such as: psychological crisis, discrimination, lack of jobs, lack of production capital... Therefore, supporting victims of human trafficking to reintegrate into the community so that they have jobs, income, livelihood support, economic development and stable lives is extremely necessary
