ASEAN-EU Dialogue

Hanoi - Vietnam, 22 October 2018

Steering committee Thailand, Ms. Saowalak Thongkuay facilitates a group discussion on inclusive employment and work at ASEAN-EU dialogue. Bring the issue of Gender base Violence to the table. Later, ADF is happy to know they continue implementing gender equality within disability. Happier they accept women with disabilities are left behind and disability is still invisible at implementing level. Greater challenge is a lack of understanding about "inclusion".

The dialogue focused on the theme “Implementing SDG 5: Gender Equality at Work” and was supported by the Enhanced Regional EU-ASEAN Dialogue Instrument (E-READI).

Gender equality is not only a fundamental human right, but also a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. Despite acknowledging the progress achieved to date, women and girls continue to suffer discrimination and violence in every part of the world. The SDG #5 aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls that are regarded as pre-condition for the attainment of all SDGs targets and indicators
