Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has approved the investment plan of a project to carry out policies and programs to prevent and respond to gender-based violence, domestic violence and handle the issue of prostitution, using evidence and a human right-based approach.
The project is funded by
the United Nations Population Fund and the Ministry of Labor, and is carried
out by the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA). The funding
for the project is over 7.7 million USD in non-refundable official development
assistance (ODA).

A study on behavioral changes in male chauvinism will be conducted
under the project, providing a basis for amending the Law on Gender Equality,
the Law on Domestic Violence Prevention and Control and other policies.
Standards for
gender-based violence prevention will be built alongside various communication
campaigns on policy advocacy and behavioral changes together with models
involving male farmers to stave off domestic violence.
Scientific evidence will
also be gathered to build a bill featuring prostitution issues. Capacity in
building and implementing policies on gender equality, domestic violence
prevention and control and prostitution issues will also be enhanced through
the project.
The MoLISA is expected to
build an appropriate management mechanism for the project and identify the
responsibilities of agencies, project owners and coordinating organizations to
ensure its effectiveness.
