The Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA) has recently issued a plan to organise the national action month for gender quality and gender-based violence prevention and response.
With its theme of ensuring social security, empowering women and girls to achieve gender equality, and eliminating gender-based violence against women and girls, the action month once again affirms Vietnam's priorities and commitments in promoting practical progress in the matter.
Accordingly, the MoLISA will chair and coordinate with Vietnam Airlines Corporation and the United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women (UN Women), to organise a launch ceremony for the action month, on November 10.
Localities, depending on the specific situation, will also organise launch ceremonies or meetings in response to the action month, from November 10 to 20.
The main activities implemented during the action month include press awards on gender equality, conferences, seminars, training, policy dialogues, communication on social media, parades, street music events, painting/photo exhibitions, cultural and sports exchange programmes and forums for workers in industrial zones, on the topic of gender equality and gender-based violence prevention and response.
