First national forum held on engaging men in promoting gender equality
A national forum on “Engaging Men and Boys in the Promotion of Gender Equality and the Elimination of Gender-based Violence” was held for the first time in Hanoi with 200 delegates participating both online and in person.
The forum was jointly held by UN Women in Vietnam, the Institute for Social Development Studies (ISDS), and the Network for the Prevention of and Response to Gender Violence (GBVNet), with financial support from the Australian Government.
It offered an opportunity for organizations, groups, and men’s clubs in Vietnam to introduce and share lessons, experiences, and challenges in mobilizing the participation of men in promoting gender equality as well as preventing and responding to violence against women and children, especially during COVID-19.
