UN’s Recommendations on Strengthening Gender Equality in the draft revised Law on Election

The Viet Nam National Assembly will be voting on the draft  Law of Elections of Deputies to the National Assembly and People’s Councils in May 2015.  The revision of the Election Law provides a critical opportunity to promote gender balance in elected representatives.  As part of our on-going support to the National Assembly on legislative strengthening, the UN has developed recommendations to integrate gender equality in the draft law.
