Today, more and more women are actively participating in social
activities both in urban and rural areas. Specifically, they have shined
brightly in even many fields commonly regarded as the man's areas
such as business, scientific research and social management. In
some areas, women even show more overwhelming power than men.
The image of contemporary Vietnamese women with creativeness,
dynamism, success has become popular in Vietnam's society. The
fact reveals that the gender gap has been remarkably narrowed and
women enjoy many more opportunities to pursue their social careers
and obtain success, contributing to national socio-economic
development. According to Ms, Le Thi Quy, Director of the
Gender/and Development Research Centre under the University of
Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi National University, gender
equity in Vietnam has reached a high level over the past decade. The
rate of Vietnamese women becoming National Assembly members
from the 9th term to the th term increased 8.7%, bringing the
proportion of Vietnamese women in authority to 7.%, the highest rate
in Southeast Asia. There is no big gap in the level of literacy and
schooling between men and women. Women account for about 7% of
university and college graduates, 9.9% of doctoral degree holders
and 6.7% of professors and associate professors.
The legitimate rights of women and children are ensured more
than ever before with more complete legal documents including laws,
conventions and national action plans, among which the laws on
"gender equity" mark a turning-point in the empowerment of women.

every field and honors their great importance in modern society,
helping to do away with outdated perceptions about traditional
women's duties. Many projects on reproductive health care, children
protection, and family income improvement jointly conducted by
