On the morning of June 4, 2026, the School of Preventive Medicine and Public Health coordinated with the Student Affairs Department and Dormitory Management to organize a student meeting to introduce and discuss the GlobalConsent intervention program - an educational model through entertainment aimed at preventing sexual violence among male students.
GlobalConsent is an intervention program built on a foundation of scientific theory, and adapted from a model that has proven effective at universities in the United States. The program includes 6 learning modules, designed to be lively and familiar, helping learners access knowledge naturally and easily apply it in practice.
Hanoi Medical University is one of six universities in Vietnam participating in implementing the program from 2024. In recent times, the University has actively carried out many activities within the framework of the program such as surveying lecturers' opinions, assessing students' knowledge about sexual violence, as well as organizing meetings to introduce the program to the teaching staff. At the end of the second year of project implementation, 485 male students from various majors completed 3 surveys related to sexual violence prevention among male students.
This meeting was organized to create conditions for the research team to provide more detailed information about the course content to the 485 male Y2 students eligible to participate in the course, answer students' questions during the participation process, and support students in completing the learning modules effectively.
At the program, Dr. Phan Thi Minh Ngoc - Deputy Student Affairs Department and Dormitory Manager - directly presented an overview of the GlobalConsent course, emphasizing the practical significance of the program in raising awareness, changing the attitudes and behaviors of male students towards the issue of sexual violence. In addition, students' questions and concerns related to learning content and implementation methods are also specifically answered, helping learners better understand the goals and benefits of the program.

Through this activity, the school not only contributes to raising students' awareness of sexual violence prevention but also demonstrates its commitment to building a safe, healthy and mutually respectful learning environment while spreading the positive message of the program. In the coming time, the GlobalConsent program is expected to continue to be widely deployed, contributing to creating positive changes in the student community.
The meeting took place in an open and positive atmosphere, attracting the interest and participation of nearly 400 students in person and nearly 80 students attending online. This is an activity that marks an important step forward in bringing sexual violence prevention education programs into the university environment in Vietnam.
