The delegates discussed the participation of female deputies in the People’s Councils, Party Committees, the leadership of state agencies, and the planning and training of female cadres. They suggested strengthening Party guidelines in female personnel affairs and gender equality and communication to improve awareness and change people’s behavior on gender equality, particularly in the political sphere. It’s important to have a strategy to train female scientists and managers for sectors at all level, delegates said.
The event was co-organized by the National Committee for the Advancement of Women in Vietnam, Oxfam Vietnam, the Center for Studies and Applied Sciences in Gender, Family, Women and Adolescents (CSAGA), and the Center supports education and capacity building for women (CEPEW).
