The seminar was organised by the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour and the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women).
The strategy focuses on strengthening women’s involvement in leadership to gradually narrow the gender gap in the political system, reducing the gender gap in economics, labour and jobs and helping poor women in rural and ethnic minority areas access economic resources and employment. The plan also targets improving the quality of female labour resources, and gradually ensuring equal participation of men and women in education and training. It also strives to ensure gender equality in the fields of information, culture and family and in accessing and enjoying healthcare services.
Participants at the seminar said that to better implement the strategy relevant authorities should continue to direct, inspect and complete the legal system, improve the state management capacity on gender equality, pay more attention to disseminating information on gender equality, develop services, and use financial resources effectively.
