Australia’s Ambassador for Women and Girls, Christine Clarke CSC launches the Australia’s Equality Strategy in Vietnam 2022-2027 at Australian Embassy in Vietnam.
The Strategy is expected to deepen Australia’s efforts on gender equality and women’s and girls’ empowerment, and it will also be responsive to the inclusion of people with disabilities, ethnic minority groups and LGBTI communities.
During this visit, Ambassador Clarke also met with government, multilateral and community group leaders to discuss women in leadership, ending violence against women and children and Vietnam’s women, peace and security agenda.
Promoting gender equality and the advancement of women and girls is a longstanding objective of Australia’s foreign policy, including development engagement, in Vietnam.
‘The promotion of equality enables Vietnamese from all corners of the country to contribute to the ongoing rise of Vietnam as a vibrant, modern nation. That is an endeavour Australia supports without reservation,’ Ambassador Goledzinowski shared.
