At the conference, delegates listened to the summary report on gender equality and women’s advancement in 2025. The report affirmed that throughout the year, Hong Duc University consistently focused on building an equitable educational and working environment without gender discrimination. The University issued and implemented various policies and solutions to promote the role, potential, and contributions of female staff, lecturers, civil servants, and employees.
As a result, female staff members successfully fulfilled and, in many cases, excellently completed their assigned tasks. Female managers and leaders not only achieved outstanding results in teaching and scientific research but also demonstrated strong leadership and management capacity, while balancing family responsibilities and contributing significantly to the sustainable development of Hong Duc University.
Communication and dissemination of laws and policies on gender equality were strengthened through diverse and effective forms. Gender equality content was integrated into training programs, professional activities, and political education sessions. Numerous news articles and reports were published on the University’s website and communication channels, contributing to raising awareness and promoting positive behavioral change regarding gender equality among staff, lecturers, and students.
In addition, the Party Committee, the Board of Rectors, and the Committee for the Advancement of Women paid close attention to the training, development, and promotion of female staff. In 2025, the University had a female Vice President, 32 female staff members holding leadership and management positions at departmental and unit levels, along with many women serving as heads of divisions, academic departments, and mass organizations. These achievements clearly reflect progress in gender equality in political participation and educational management. Efforts to prevent and respond to gender-based violence were also effectively implemented in association with union activities and student support services.
