It will make a difference to those like Trang.
Trang's family were never truly happy. Working far away, her father was rarely home and when he was he beat her mother and blamed her.
Trang was expected to be a gentle, cheerful, respectful and smart daughter so from a young age she tried to please everyone in her family to keep the peace. So when she suffered abuse, she just kept silent.
Hagar Vietnam first met Trang when she called their hotline during a panic attack stemming from her fathers verbal abuse. Hagar supported her with emergency accommodation and psychological counselling.
With Hagars help she has finally started to heal.
"It was like I always had a mask on and I didnt know how to be honest and vulnerable with others, maybe I didnt know where to start." At Hagar, she finally could say it out loud "I am healing now!"
