Female workers play an important role in the industry specifically and economic in Vietnam generally. In many industrial areas all over the country, Dong Nai is considered to be one of the biggest industrial areas with more than 1,2 million workers. In recent years, the lack of knowledge about sexual health as well as the financial burden on workers’ daily life causes an array of issues around it.
To be more specific, they are not aware of the importance of sexual health check and also do not have chances to experience standard health check services. Therefore, workers in Dong Nai are facing the risk of unsafe abortion due to unintended pregnancies. Moreover, they have to struggle with reproductive tracts infections or cervical cancer because of having unsafe sex. The number for this problem has been continuing to increase and bring negative effects on the mental and the physical health of workers as well as the productivity of factories.
