IMPROVING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GENDER EQUALITY IMPLEMENTATION IN VIETNAM IN THE CURRENT CONTEXT

Over the years, our Party and State have always paid attention to caring for and promoting gender equality, protecting rights and enhancing the role and contribution of women in all aspects of political, economic and social life. During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh once affirmed: “Talking about women is talking about half of society. If we do not liberate women, we do not liberate half of humanity. If we do not liberate women, we will only build half of socialism”. Therefore, women’s liberation is not only women’s work but is closely linked to the cause of national liberation, class liberation, and human liberation. Therefore, since its inception, our state has paid attention to gender equality and focused on creating opportunities for women to develop. Our Party and State have made many breakthroughs in awareness and action, from the legal, policy to practical aspects, and have achieved many important achievements in gender equality. Our country is considered one of the countries that has eliminated the gender gap fastest in the past 20 years. The paper offers some solutions to contribute to improving the effectiveness of gender equality implementation in Vietnam today.
