Vietnamese AO victim introduces her autobiography in FranceTran To Nga, a Vietnamese Agent Orange (AO)/dioxin victim living in France, introduced her autobiography on the occasion of the Vietnam Day event held in Valenton city, Val de Marne province of France, on March 25. Nga also talked about projects that she has been working on to support Vietnamese AO victims. Francoise Labat, Vice Mayor of Valenton city, said that the city will organise more events on the issues to raise people’s awareness in the fight for justice for Vietnamese AO victims. From 1961 to 1971, US troops sprayed more than 80 million litres of herbicides — 44 million litres of which were AO, containing nearly 370kg of dioxin — on southern Vietnam. As a result, about 4.8 million Vietnamese were exposed to the toxic chemical.
