From the Museum:
To recreate the lives of migrant people and the problems they face in daily life, the Vietnamese Women’s Museum has been cooperating with Light (the Institute for Development and Community Health) to host a new temporary exhibition called Shining Night. The exhibition presents the stories of a typical group of migrants who are representative of thousands of others earning a living in the Long Bien market area. Day and night, they take part hard in manual labour, working as porters, rickshaw pullers, or carriers, facing many difficulties and challenges while they work.

With the assistance of the community as well as other social organizations, the migrants managed to overcome violence in their lives and now have an improved standard of living.
