This year’s action month seeks measures to ensure social welfare, empower women and girls, and create opportunities to achieve gender equality and eliminate gender-based violence. 

After more than a decade implementing the Gender Equality Law, gender equality work in Hoa Binh has received continuous attention and support from the provincial Party Committee, People's Council, and People's Committee, as well as the active involvement and responsibility of local departments, agencies, and organisations at all levels, contributing to achieving the targets set out in the National Gender Equality Strategy for the 2021-2030 period in Hoa Binh. 

Speaking at the event, Toan emphasised that women are increasingly participating in all aspects of social life and gradually asserting their prominent roles across various fields. He highlighted the action month as a peak period to intensify communications on gender equality, and urged everyone to speak out and take action to end violence against women and children. 

To better gender equality work in the coming years, he urged leaders of local Party Committees and authorities to strengthen their in promoting gender equality and women's advancement; step up disseminations on the Party’s resolutions, the State’s policies and laws, and the province’s regulations related to this issue; and intensify efforts to prevent and combat gender-based violence and work toward ending violence against women and children.
