On March 3, 2021, the Government issued Resolution No. 28-NQ/CP promulgating the National Strategy on Gender Equality for the period 2021-2030, in which, ministries, branches and localities were assigned to develop their plans to implement the Resolution. In the justice sector, the Women Advancement Committee (WAC), Ministry of Justice was assigned to be the focal point for developing the Action Plan on Gender Equality in the period of 2021-2025

To achieve the performance indicators and to implement the mandates on ensuring GE in family, and on preventing and responding to gender-based violence, especially guaranteeing the equal beneficiary and accessing opportunities of victims of gender-based violence, an assessment of the implementation of GE and its achievements in the organization and provision of legal aid (LA) is necessary. Result of this assessment is a source of inputs, contributing to define specific tasks, possible solutions and roadmaps for reaching the goals, tasks and targets on gender equality by 2030, which were assigned to Ministry of Justice at national level and departments of Justice at local level.
