Sexual Assualt in Vietnam

 

Sexual assault is still prevalent. Vietnam

Vietnamese were outraged in March 2019 when a man who was caught on CCTV forcingly kissing a woman in an elevator was only fined $8. Like every other nation in Southeast Asia, Vietnam has experienced cases of women and children being sexually assaulted. Nevertheless, as noted in a local media report, the ASEAN member state has made remarkable strides in some areas related to women's leadership and rights, particularly in terms of access to education and maternal health as well as in terms of strengthening the legal and institutional framework for gender equality. However, not a single nation in the world can claim to have achieved gender equality, despite significant efforts by governments and organizations. Japan sex movies

The world still has a lot of discrimination and violence against women and children. Vietnam is a center for manufacturing and trade worldwide. Sadly, it was revealed that systemic sexual harassment and workplace violence are a problem for female factory workers in the nation. The International Labour Organization (ILO) stated that it is difficult to find official statistics on sexual harassment in the workplace in Vietnam. However, a 2019 study by the Fair Wear Foundation, an independent organization that works to improve working conditions in clothing factories, and Care International, a rights organization with offices in Vietnam, found that nearly half of the 763 women interviewed in factories in three Vietnamese provinces reported having encountered at least one form of harassment and/or violence.

Dr. Jane Pillinger, a gender-based violence expert and study author, said, "I am shocked that nearly 50% of the women interviewed had experienced some form of violence in the past year, and I have worked on this issue for 30 years." "There's a big culture of silence around this, so the numbers are probably even higher," she continued. "We know from feedback that some women wouldn't answer the questions in the interviews, maybe out of fear that their answers would somehow get back to their employers or husbands." Vietnam updated its Labor Code (LC) in November of last year and added a number of beneficial provisions, including a definition of sexual harassment. For the first time in the nation's labor laws, sexual harassment in the workplace is defined in the new Labour Code. Other significant changes include removing a restriction on the employment of women in certain professions and ensuring equal access to reproductive healthcare and childrearing, among other things.

In a recent press release titled "Vietnam Now Needs to Walk the Talk on Sexual Harassment," which was posted on the UN Women website, it is noted that careful attention should be paid to the creation of the implementing Decrees, which will outline how the Labour Code will be applied in practice once it takes effect in 2021. Another CCTV camera in an elevator in Saigon captured video of a man approaching and hugging a young girl in April of last year. According to the local media, Vietnamese children are particularly at risk of being sexually abused due to a lack of legal protection and deterrents. Vietnam was ranked 43rd out of 60 nations in the Economist Intelligence Unit's (EIU) 2019 report regarding its response to child sex abuse.

Vietnam also performed significantly worse than other ASEAN nations like the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, and Indonesia that were factored into the index. More than 8,700 children were found to have been abused between January 2015 and June 2019, according to a National Assembly (NA) report. At 782 and 655, respectively, Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi had the most instances of child abuse among the localities over the course of the four and a half years. Unfortunately, during that time, there were at least 337 child deaths among the abuse cases. According to the report, more abuse cases were being reported because people were "more aware" of the need to speak out against abusive behavior. According to the Vietnamese Ministry of Labor, War Invalids, and Social Affairs, more than 2,000 children are abused there each year.

A total of 17 organizations, including the National Assembly, ministries, the People's Court and People's Procuracy at the central and local levels, and the People's Court and People's Procuracy at both levels, are now responsible for safeguarding, assisting, and caring for children in Vietnam, in accordance with the Law on Children, which came into effect in 2017. Vietnam has started campaigns to raise awareness about harassment, but according to Rana Flowers, a UNICEF representative there, the ASEAN nation "still lacks a strong legal framework to protect children from all forms of violence, especially sexual abuse." This includes the absence of victim care and support services." The ASEAN Post reports that sexual harassment is still prevalent in Vietnam.
