Due attention has been given to the first goal set in the strategy, which is to strengthen women’s participation in management and leadership positions, towards gradually reduce the gender gap in politics.

Leaders and experts of the office on building and revising legal documents join a discussion.

In the previous tenure, there were five women among members of the provincial Party Committee, a 9.6 percent ratio; and 69 women out of the total 481 members of district-level Party Committees (14.3 percent).

Meanwhile, 17 out of 135 members of standing boards of district-level Party Committees (12.5 percent). The ratio was 19.9 percent in communal-level Party Committees (945 women out of the total 4,741); and 6.9 percent in standing boards of communal-level Party Committees (58 women out of the total 830).

The total number of women holding leading and managerial positions under the management of the provincial Party Committee was 49 out of 317, making up 15.45 percent. The figure was 29 out of 169 at the provincial level, or 17.15 percent.

To promote gender equality in politics in the 2021-30, Party committees of all levels, local administrations, the provincial Fatherland Front and political mass organizations will push ahead with the implementation of Resolution 17-NQ/TU dated January 12, 2015 of the provincial Party Committee’s Standing Board on the female personnel work in Hoa Binh during 2015-20.

The province will also bolster communication work to raise awareness of women officials’ role and related issues.
