Justice for Lai Dai Han hosted a reception in the UK Houses of Parliament

Guest speakers included: Jack Straw, former UK foreign secretary and international ambassador for JLDH; Lord William Hague, former UK foreign secretary and co-founder of the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative; Nadia Murad, Nobel Peace Prize Winner 2018; and members of the Lai Dai Han community.

    JUSTICE FOR LAI DAI HAN

    Justice for Lai Dai Han gives a voice to the victims of sexual violence during the Vietnam War. Today, thousands of men and women, of Vietnamese and Korean ancestry, live in the shadows of Vietnamese society. They are the Lai Dai Han, meaning “mixed blood”; the children of rape victims.

    We want to tell their stories. We want justice for the Lai Dai Han.

    WHO ARE THE LAI DAI HAN?
