SN Outcome 3 (CF Outcome 4) Governance and Access to Justice By 2026, people in Viet Nam, especially those at risk of being left behind, will have benefited from and have contributed to a more just, safe and inclusive society based on improved governance, more responsive institutions, strengthened rule of law and the protection of and respect for human rights, gender equality, and freedom from all forms of violence and discrimination in line with international standards.
Progress has been made towards good gender equality legislation and policy that is inclusive for people from all gender identities and sexual orientations and prevents and responds to different forms of discrimination, and gender-based violence was made in 2022. UN Women supported the government, Ministry of Labour-Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA) with a 15-year review of the GEL to identify the main achievements and understand the performance gaps and, from this evidence, propose issues that need to change to accelerate progress towards gender equality in Viet Nam. The review divulged that the time was right for the country to consider initiating changes to the scope of GEL and the legal system of Viet Nam concerning gender equality by expanding the objectives, size, and content of GE to diminish the remaining inequality. This includes addressing GEL restrictive gender binary through its exclusive focus on men and women instead of a more fluid, inclusive interpretation of gender. In the context of human rights and bearing in mind the international commitments Viet Nam has signed on gender equality, it is vital to consider an expanding definition of gender on the grounds of gender-based discrimination to include broader gender identities and sexual orientation. With support from UN Women, the government presented the policy issues for change under the GEL amendment to more than 500 representatives from line ministries, CSOs and social organizations, and LGBTQI groups to amass their input. In support of this, discussions on the development of a legal document on Social Protection were also made in the year to help the government plan for the policies, programs, infrastructure and resources that support the population, including those who are most vulnerable in the society to mitigate and manage the crisis and risks, to protect them from marginalization, discrimination and exclusion from socio-economic opportunities. The first one-stop model for women and children using ESP principles and the city budget was established in 2022 in HCMC under Decision 1275/QÐ/UBND. This showcased the more significant commitment from an improved and responsible government that sets the determination to further protect women and children with concrete facilities and resources. This was also supported by (a) thousands of service providers who, with the support from UN Women, now have increased capacity to deliver coordinated EVAWC essential services for the survivors of violence, (b) the enforced application of the Standard of Procedures (SOP) in providing gender-sensitive legal aid and service referral for victims of GBV and human trafficking and (c) the drafting of the SOP to address sexual harassment cases on public buses and at bus stops. The Prime Minister's decision to develop a National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security (WPS NAP) in Viet Nam demonstrates the significant progress in generating the government's commitment to implement UNSCR1325 and subsequent resolutions. Throughout the year, UN Women support focused on sponsoring a series of international workshops on NAP international experiences and case studies of NAPs that could serve as a point of reference for Viet Nam, and on supporting MOFA to lead this process and generate buy-in and support from different stakeholders in the country. As a result, a consortium was created under MOFA's leadership with MOD, MPS and MOLISA/Gender Equality Department to drive the NAP development work and concluded with an official decision to develop a WPS NAP for Viet Nam confirmed by the Prime Minister in December 2022. UN Women in Viet Nam will continue to provide the necessary technical support to the Government of Viet Nam to develop the NAP, which is expected to be completed and approved in 2023. A Viet Nam NAP on WPS will connect with the efforts undertaken at the ASEAN level, mainly the 2019 ASEAN Joint Statement on Promoting the WPS Agenda and the ASEAN Regional Plan of Action on WPS launched in December 2022. Moreover, it will reinforce Viet Nam's implementation of other international commitments on women empowerment and the promotion of gender equality, such as the CEDAW, the Beijing Platform for Action and the SDGs. The year also witnessed an impressive increase in the participation of diverse stakeholders from government, women's unions, civil society organizations, activists, academia, and the public in UN Women's events throughout the year, especially on social norm changes and EVAWC prevention. UN Women also worked to ensure that other UN agencies and donor communities are in sync when discussing, planning, and implementing gender equality-related activities and movements. The leading roles, both technical and coordination, of UN Women toward the UNCT and Head of Agencies' related dialogues further confirmed our unique position in promoting a more just, safer, and more inclusive society in Viet Nam. (TOC) These has proved that the tendency of a whole society approach that is facilitated and to be happening in Viet Nam and years to come when UN Women works to bring in all development actors and related UN Agencies together to promote positive social norms and to dismantle negative gendered attitudes, perceptions and stereotypes so to gradually making gender equality and women empowerment an important mandate and priority for the country.Disclaimer and notes
