Vietnam backs adding gender issues into anti-terrorism
New York (VNA) – Vietnam has expressed support for
all-society approach to national reconciliation and harmony, building an united
society resistant to risks of extremism and terrorism.
During the Arria-formula meeting of the United
Nations Security Council (UNSC) in New York on July 28, head of the Vietnamese Permanent Mission to the UN, Ambassador Dang Dinh Quy said the UNSC’s resolutions
recognise a need to incorporate gender issues into efforts to prevent
extremism, deal with conflicts or build peace. Therefore, it is necessary to
recognise women’s different roles as well as promote their leadership role in
the fight against terrorism.
According to him, the process also needs to
take into account the role of men and gender bias.
He also backed countries in continuing to share experience in incorporating gender aspects into national plans and policies and
promote thorough study and discussions on the issue.
Participants at the event also highlighted a
need to study the issue thoroughly and promote the comprehensive approach to
