In implementing gender equality, Vietnam has completed the legal framework and policies on gender equality, creating conditions for women to have more opportunities to access and participate in all areas of social life.

Thanks to the synchronous implementation of policies and solutions, the gender gap in various areas of social and family life has been significantly narrowed in recent times. A number of national goals on gender equality in the fields of politics, education, and health have achieved good results.
