Advancing Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality in Vietnam
Foundation, The Asia | January 2018
Abstract
The Asia Foundation has worked to advance women’s empowerment in Vietnam for more than 25 years, recognizing that when women and girls thrive, families and communities flourish. By forging strategic partnerships with government institutions, local NGOs, and the private sector, we pioneer results-based projects to strengthen women’s and girls’ economic opportunities, political voice and participation, and rights and security, while pursuing an integrated approach that promotes gender equality across all sectors.
