(VOVworld) - Nearly 8,000 people joined a walk at Dam Sen Park in Ho Chi Minh City on Sunday to mark Day for Vietnamese Agent Orange/Dioxin victims on August 10.

The annual walk for AO victims always attracts thousands of Vietnamese and foreigners

President of the Vietnam Association for Victims of Agent Orange/ Dioxin Nguyen Van Rinh said the event aims to raise public awareness of the Agent Orange disaster in Vietnam and encourage all people to assist AO victims.
It also shows Vietnamese people’s strong support for Vietnamese AO victims' struggle for justice. Mrs. Tran Thi To Nga has represented Vietnamese AO victims to file a lawsuit against US chemical companies for supplying the defoliant to the American army during the Vietnam war.
