National Guidelines in
Vietnam - Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Vietnam
Resolution N.04/NQTW of the Political Bureau of the Communist
Party of Vietnam of 13 July 1993
This Resolution notably stipulates that:
"One of the objectives of the Vietnamese Revolution
has been the emancipation and the overall development of women, which exerts a
direct and lasting impact on the country’s development. Therefore, the Party’s
permanent and most important task throughout all periods of the revolution is
to foster women’s potentials, to bring them into full play, and to care for
their overall development".
Women’s emancipation is defined as "improvement of the
material and spiritual life of women, increase of their social status, and
equality".
The Resolution defines the following major tasks:
-
creating jobs for women, caring for their life and health,
ensuring labour security and social insurance for women, and defending their
interests;
-
helping women improve their qualities, capabilities and
their levels in all fields of activity;
-
building well-to-do, equal, progressive and happy families;
-
training and fostering women cadres;
-
renewing the content, organization and mode of activity of
the Vietnam Women’s Union.
The Resolution also recognized that the Party neglected the
enhancement of women and the creation of more favourable conditions for their
empowerment. The lack of policy regarding women’s cadres (whose number is
getting smaller) is also acknowledged.
