The program focused on two main issues: gender equality and gender mainstreaming in the construction of the new rural development program, period 2021-2025, as well as gender-based violence prevention. Dr. Bui Thi Huong Giang, Director of FEMMA, delivered basic concepts of GBV, its causes and consequences, common perceptions of GBV, the legal framework related to GBV in Vietnam, and some preventive and responsive measures. The participants were also able to identify different forms of GBV and develop an understanding of their shared responsibility in preventing and combating GBV to build a more civilized society.
