Viet Nam Human Rights
Forum promotes gender mainstreaming in policy making
4/7/17
The 5th Vietnam-Korea
Women Forum took place in Hanoi, focusing on the theme of
mainstreaming gender into policies towards sustainable development.
Speaking at the event, Vice
Chairwoman of the Vietnam Women's Union (VWU) Bui Thi Hoa stressed gender
equality is one of the principles constitutionalised in Vietnam’s first
Constitution in 1946.
Regulations on gender equality
have been included in many legal documents covering different fields such as
politics, economy, finance-budget, labour-employment, education-training,
healthcare, and population-family, she said, adding that attention have been
paid to activities targeting development of women.
The forum offered a good chance
for the Governments, National Assemblies, local administrations and
organisations of Vietnam and the Republic of Korea to expand cooperation
programs targeting women’s development in particular and sustainable
development of the two nations in general, Hoa stressed.
Lee Myung Sun, Chairwoman of
the Korean Women’s Development Institute (KWDI), underlined the importance to
make recommendations to policies concerning women, affirming that the institute
will continue promoting cooperation with the VWU to connect women-related
agencies and organisations, towards a better future for women of both
countries.
Participants at the forum
shared policies and successful models at both national and local levels;
outstanding policies on gender equality; experience in applying gender
mainstreaming in the budgetary process and gender budgeting.
They also discussed policies to
build women friendly cities in the central city of Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh
city.
The forum was organised
rotationally by the VWU and the KWDI over the last five years. The previous
events focused on female human resources development, vocational training and
job creation, creative industry, supporting female-owned entrepreneurs; and
international marriage between Vietnamese and RoK citizens./.
