Vietnam’s efforts to eliminate violence against women intensified
As one of the first countries to participate in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), Vietnam has made significant efforts to fulfill its national commitments through various measures aimed at ensuring gender equality in all areas of social life, bringing in many encouraging achievements.
Despite significant efforts from both the political system and a growing awareness among the public, the issue of violence against women in Vietnam has not decreased as expected. According to the Government’s 2023 report on implementing the national gender equality goals, there were 3,193 victims of domestic violence in Vietnam in 2023, of which 2,628 were female, accounting for 82.3%, while 565 were male, making up 17.7%.
