A lot of competitions have been organizing in Vietnam to raise public awareness of gender-based violence against women and girls in Vietnam
Vietnam is trying to abolish gender discrimination, sexual harassment and violence against women
Statistics showed that one in every three women in the world had once suffered from physical or sexual violence.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic coupled with armed conflicts, insecurity and migration, women and girls are facing a higher risk of violence and abuse.
gender discrimination, harassment, and violence against women have become more popular at different levels in all parts of the world.
we should make public and properly tackle these sensitive issues
Young Vietnamese women now raise a stronger voice against violence compared to a decade ago
women who have higher education are less likely to experience violence
education is very important in helping women to be stronger, more confident and independent in life.
violence against women remains still hidden because gender stereotypes are still common in society
children are also victims, more vulnerable to violence, especially when they witness domestic violence against their mothers.
The State management agencies, socio-political organisations, non-governmental organisations, and individuals are very important in addressing these issues.
Vietnam is the only country worldwide to successfully conduct a second study on violence against women, using the World Health Organisation (WHO)’s multinational study methods on women’s health and domestic violence.
Vietnam is one of the countries that have actively implement the international Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children, and called on all people to join such efforts.
many cases of violence against women and children have been denounced by the public, and handled by competent agencies.
Vietnam is carrying out activities to protect rights of women and girls, thus further promoting cooperation between Vietnam and international organizations
Vietnam has gained many achievements in promoting gender equality and eliminating violence against women and children, as well as its issuance of the Law on Gender Equality, and the National Strategy on Gender Equality
The Vietnamese Government has acknowledged, respected, ensured and protected human rights and rights of citizens
the country’s efforts in fighting discrimination against women and girls, and gender-based violence has been shown by issuing relevant laws and realising international commitments such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Those efforts of Vietnam have been made for many years, contributing to realising sustainable and millennium development goals, as well as the 2011-2020 national strategy of gender equalit
