Supporting women in access to social security and welfare policies
More attention should be paid to supporting women in their access to and benefiting from social security and welfare policies, Chairwoman of the Vietnam Women’s Union (VWU) Ha Thi Nga has suggested.
To contribute to clarifying this task in the coming time, in particular ensuring equal access to social security and social welfare for women, particularly migrant female workers, rural women, pregnant women, and those nursing children, the VWU offered four specific groups of measures:
- ensuring social security in housing for female migrant workers.
- ensuring social security for women during pregnancy and childbirth.
- ensuring social security for women raising children and children at kindergarten age.
- ensuring social security in the creation of job opportunities for women.
