N.A. Standing Vice Chairman Tran Thanh Man speaks at the meeting. |
Briefing the N.A. Vice Chairman on the general situation of women in Vietnam, especially impacts of COVID-19 on women and children, VWU Vice President Do Thi Thu Thao proposed that the N.A. support the contents related to micro-insurance in the draft Law on Insurance Business.
She suggested the N.A. to give detail regulations on the operation of national hotlines for domestic violence prevention and consultation, and pilot the operation of a inter-sectoral center for the urgent protection of victims of gender violence and abused children.
The N.A. should add gender equality issues to its supervision programs, including those on the implementation of support policies for laborers and vulnerable groups amid COVID-19.
Affirming the role and contribution of the VWU to the country’s socio-economic development as well as national defense, Man lauded the close coordination between the union and the N.A. during the elections of deputies to the 15th N.A. and all-level people’s councils in the 2021-2026 period, contributing to the success of the event.

He said that in this tenure, the N.A. will consider the amendments and supplements to a number of laws, including the Law on Social Insurance, the Law on Health Insurance, the Employment Law, the Population Law, the Law on Domestic Violence Prevention and Control, and Gender Equality Law, with the aim of better protecting rights and interests of people, especially women and children.
