Gender equality across Vietnam industries

Gender equality across industries project (GEAI) is funded by the U.S. Consulate General, with the vision to raise public awareness in the "gender equality" issues, which have been existing across many fields and sectors in Vietnam. The project for 2021-2022 has been approved to focus on 4 industries: Press & Media, Healthcare, Retails & Beauty & Education.

Press & Media has been selected for our opening and first industry. Gender equality is the 5th goal among UN's 17 sustainable development goals by 2030, and this matter has been long discussed for the Media and Journalism industry across the globe. The most frequent topics are: the gender inequality at the decision-making level, the lack of equal gender representation in media content, and the rights of women media workers.

At GEAI, we do not stop only at women empowerment, but rather focus on gender equality and diversity. It covers any gender minority presenting in a certain industry, regardless if they are men, women, or LGBTQ+. Joining the panel discussion, the audience can hear the diverse voices from the stakeholders, as well as to see a broader picture to the gender equality matter in the Vietnam market for Press & Media.
