Vietnam’s State Securities Commission (SSC) has published an article supporting the month of action on gender equality, emphasizing fair employment practices and the prevention of violence based on gender. The article addresses equal access to professional development and leadership in the securities sector, alongside broader recommendations for agencies, organizations and businesses. Employers are encouraged to ensure equal treatment in recruitment, training, pay and career progression. Within the SSC, existing personnel practices emphasize assessment and recognition based on competence and work results rather than gender stereotypes. Women are supported in accessing specialist training, taking on important assignments and participating in management and leadership roles. The article also addresses workplace sexual harassment and online abuse, including threats, controlling behavior and privacy violations. Securities sector bodies are urged to maintain workplaces free from discrimination and violence, comply with relevant legal protections and support victims. Staff should identify and promptly report violence, harassment and discrimination, and cooperate with competent authorities to protect those affected.
