People with disabilities have the right to live in the community, according to Article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. However, more than a decade after the adoption of the CRPD by the UN and nearly global ratification, children with disabilities continue to be placed in institutions in every region of the world. Worse still, low-middle income countries that have never had systems of institutionalization have started to build them.
In 2017, the CRPD Committee adopted general comment No. 5 on Article 19 on living independently and being included in the…
ABSTRACT:
The confidence scale and self-esteem scale have been passed to 68 mental health checkups for children in Grades 3 and 4, at Ho Chi Minh City Primary School, Vietnam. For better resolution, the problem, physical education intervention has been used for comparative research. Previous research indicates that Self-esteem and self-confidence of children in general are poor; Physical education interventions play an important role in improving their self-esteem and confidence. It suggests that the intervention of physical education should be applied more to the study of…

Summary
Background
Unsettled infant behaviours are a common source of concern for new parents and have been associated with perinatal common mental disorders amongst women in high-income settings. There is little evidence about how unsettled infant behaviours are understood and managed in low and lower-middle income countries. This study aimed to describe caregivers' understandings of, and responses to, unsettled infant behaviours in Vietnam and their family caregiving contexts.
Methods
Women who were mothers of infants aged 0–6 months were purposively…

The world is facing a hidden crisis in childcare. That crisis is leaving millions of children without the support they need, with damaging consequences for their future. It is also having severe impacts on three generations of women – on mothers, grandmothers and daughters.
There is an urgent need to solve the global care crisis to improve the lives of both women and children and to grow economies. There are 671 million children under five in the world today. Given labour force participation rates that exceed 60% globally, a large number of these children…
This country care review includes the Concluding Observations for the Committee on the Rights of the Child adopted as part of its examination of Vietnam’s combined third and fourth periodic reports at the 60th Session of the Committee held between 9 May and 15 June 2012. The Committee’s recommendations on the issue of Family Environment and Alternative Care as well as other care relevant issues are highlighted.
Largely as a result of being cut off from the protection and care of their families, communities, and friends, children in institutions are increasingly vulnerable to HIV. In institutions, services to educate children on HIV/AIDS prevention, as well as appropriate treatments for children already infected, tend to be limited in scope and access. Many children are not even informed of their HIV status.
This assessment aims to map the vulnerability of children in three types of institutions, to identify critical needs, and to design practical, rapid, and easy-to-implement solutions that…
Part of a series of ‘How-to’ Guides that highlight successful initiatives by Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and its implementing partners from around the world, this Guide provides practical strategies and tips emerging from CRS/Vietnam’s experience with inclusive education for children with disabilities.
In the past, it was accepted that children with disabilities belonged in special programmes that separated them from their peers; however, international education experts now believe that inclusive education programmes are not only more cost effective for developing countries, but also…
