Protecting women’s rights under the current criminal law of Vietnam

Abstract

Enhancing women’s rights is a crucial matter globally and has been addressed in various legal documents. Vietnam has actively collaborated with the international community to bolster the safeguarding of women’s rights within its criminal justice framework. The 2015 Criminal Code of Vietnam underwent significant revisions to ensure the well-being and rights of women. However, certain provisions still require improvement to ensure comprehensive protection. This article thoroughly examines the shortcomings in safeguarding women’s rights within Vietnam’s criminal law system and proposes measures to enhance the relevant provisions in the 2015 Criminal Code. By refining and expanding regulations, providing stronger support and protection for victims, improving monitoring mechanisms, and ensuring effective enforcement, we can bolster the protection of women’s rights in the 2015 Criminal Code. A robust and logical legal system is essential for women to attain maximum rights and safety within society.
