Addressing the session, Ambassador Dang Hoang Giang underscored the importance of assessing achievements, drawing lessons, and formulating timely solutions. He emphasized the need for greater female participation in science, technology, and innovation through STEM education for girls and a global framework to connect women in these fields.
The ambassador called for more efficient resource allocation for essential areas such as health and education, gender impact assessments, and transparent budgeting to drive substantive progress.
He stressed targeted measures, including gender quotas, leadership training, and policies supporting work-life balance to enhance women's roles in decision-making.
Ambassador Dang Hoang Giang also highlighted Vietnam’s efforts in gender equality, citing a high percentage of female lawmakers and scientists and the country’s early adoption of a National Strategy on Gender Equality for 2020-2031.
Accordingly, Vietnam reaffirmed its commitment to working with UN Women and fellow board members to advance gender equality and accelerate progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring no one is left behind.
