Solutions to Improve The Law on Gender Equality for Students in the Higher Education Environment in Vietnam

Abstract

Legal protection should be used to protect LGBT people's rights and respect. The absence of a defined legislative framework at the moment is one factor contributing to the reality of discrimination in Vietnam. In several laws, such as the Law on HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control (2006) and the Law on Persons with Disabilities (2010), Vietnam's decree has provisions on anti-regime marketing and discrimination, but there are no explicit instructions, such as the rules on complaints against discrimination found in the Constitution. Several affirmations to safeguard equality and anti-discrimination rights are included in the 2013 law. Yet none of the legislation in effect today directly addresses sex-based discrimination. By virtue of Decree No. 110/2013-ND-CP, published on September 24, 2013, same-sex marriages and cohabitation between partners have been legal in Vietnam since November 2013. In the primary movement texts pertaining to LGBT organizations, Studies have also identified the root causes of poverty. When LGBT persons are rejected by schools and employers, the term LGBT is associated with prejudice and discrimination.
