Vietnam aims to ensure the effective realization of the national strategy on gender equality in the 2021-2030 period so that both women and men have an equal chance to contribute to every aspect of social life.

It requires all parties concerned in the drive to bring down Vietnam’s sex ratio at birth, which is the highest in Asia.

The financial shortage might challenge the implementation of Vietnam’s gender equality commitments and Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

Women-led businesses have played a significant part in the socio-economic recovery process in Vietnam and the region.

Harmful practices including son preference and gender-biased sex selection still persist in Vietnam and more efforts are needed to end the situation toward sustainable development.
