ROLE OF LAW FOR WOMEN'S PARTICIPATION IN SOCIO - POLITIC LEADING: A CASE STUDY OF VIETNAM

From ancient until now, Vietnamese women have a tradition of well – done both in public society and housework. They not only do full fill their mandate in the family but also are increasingly showing their leadership in all social activities. Vietnam is one of the first countries to ratify Women's International Conventions (CEDAW 1979 for example). Moreover, the protection of gender equality is also recognized in Vietnam's legal system. It demonstrates that law plays a significant role in creating a strong legal framework and foundation for talented women to have the opportunity to participate in social leadership positions in all fields. In this paper, the author will analyse the role of law for women participating in leading society in Vietnam today.
