In order to make the collected data from the Census to become talking figures, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in Viet Nam has collaborated with the General Statistics Office (GSO) to organize the photo voice exhibition “Stories behind the data”. This is a three-month journey through eight provinces and cities of Viet Nam, including Ha Giang, Ha Noi, Bac Giang, Quang Tri, Soc Trang, Ninh Thuan, Tien Giang, and Ho Chi Minh City, conducted by two photographers Mr. Nguyen Minh Duc and Mr. Vu Ngoc Dung.
