With a fund from the Irish Aid, CARE - a leading humanitarian and development organization in the field of poverty reduction and promoting gender equality in Vietnam - will strengthen the support for Vietnamese journalists to have more knowledge about gender issues, Hong added.

The dialogue selected two fields to illustrate the issue, which were information access and use of forest and land resources.
In addition, CARE's gender specialists helped journalists better understand the consequences of gender inequalities for sustainable development in Vietnam, as well as the various forms of gender inequality persisting from care for the family to information access and economic resources such as land and forest land.
