In addition, other influencing factors come from the community such as: support activities are mainly visits, encouragement, partial support of initial costs... but lack of supporting activities to develop sustainable livelihoods (vocational training, job referrals...).

11. Summary of the new findings of the thesis:
11.1. After doing literature review, the author analyzed relevant contents of previous studies, pointing out missing issues in these studies to find direction, from social work perspective, for the in-depth research of activities to support the community reintegration of trafficked women.
11.2. The thesis listed a number of activities to support trafficked women returning to Ha Giang province, including: material aid, livelihood development; cultural and mental life help; access to resources and services; legal security and safety assistance. According to the author, the above activities implemented by Ha Giang province have had relatively good results, however, there are still some limitations relating to budget, difficult local conditions, skills of victims in the reintegration process.
11.3. The thesis indicates that there are many factors affecting the effectiveness of supporting trafficked women. Among them, direct factors associate with people supporting (returning trafficked victims) such as: low educational level, lack of knowledge and skills to reintegrate, unemployment, etc. Other influencing factors link with the community, for example: support activities are mainly to visit, motivate, and provide part of initial budget, etc., however, activities to develop sustainable livelihoods are insufficient (vocational training, job placement, etc.).
11.4. After studying a number of models supporting trafficked women,based on the analysis of situation and influencing factors to activities facilitating reintegration in Ha Giang province,the author has composed and proposed a support model in the community with the participation of organizations, individuals, families, neighbors, victims and especially the assistance of a Social Worker. This eight-step model identifies specific activities performed by stakeholders, in which the role of the Social Worker is prominent.
12. Practical applicability, if any:The model of community reintegration support for returning trafficked women (section 4.2 - Chapter 4) can be applied to assist victims in reality.
