Capital responds to gender and violence prevention month

Under the theme "Ensuring Social Security, Empowering Women and Girls to Achieve Gender Equality, and Eliminating Gender-Based Violence against Women and Girls", the Action Month reaffirms the priorities and commitments of cities and provinces nationwide to promote practical progress in this area.

Ha Noi will focus on supporting victims of gender-based violence and disseminating communication on gender equality.

The Ha Noi Women's Union underlined the need to mobilize resources to implement activities in response to the action month, expand communication activities and support the victims, especially women and children.

The union worked with local agencies to conduct training activities to sensitize members and women on the prevention of domestic violence and abuse against women and children.

In Ha Noi, many models have been developed to build happy families, prevent violence, encourage men to share household chores with women, and many positive and effective activities have been achieved, according to the union.

However, the task still faces many challenges, and rapid urbanization has led to a large number of migrant workers in the city. Therefore, ensuring employment and social security conditions for migrant groups, including women workers, is an arduous task.

The Ha Noi authorities will strengthen the interdisciplinary inspection to enforce gender equality for the advancement of women in the workplace and strictly deal with violations./.
