This research project aims to apply both qualitative and quantitative methods to identify the actual impacts of Vietnam’s Gender Equality Law (GEL) on gender equality in the political field over 10 years before 2021. The project provides comparisons of the GEL with other national laws and international conventions/commitments to identify the existence of gaps that hinder the full impact of the GEL. The findings will be used to make recommendations for amendments to the Gender Equality Law.

Objectives

To identify how the Gender Equality Law’s provisions on promoting gender equality in the political field conform to other related laws and international conventions. Findings will be used as inputs for the GELs revision process.

The project will contribute recommendations for the revision of the National Gender Equality Law in 2022.

The project targets

All genders, especially women, benefit from the updated Gender Equality Law when it is revised in 2022.
