International Consultant Assignment: “Situation analysis on gender in written
and televised media”

Viet Nam has a long history of promoting gender equality and the government's
commitment is evident in its policies and at the institutional and structural
level.  Nevertheless, implementation of policies has been challenging; in many
areas women's equal rights and participation are goals yet to be realized.
Traditional stereotypes about women and men persist in Viet Nam, and there is a
lack of sex- and age-disaggregated data and gender-specific information.

UNESCO calls upon the media to make a greater contribution to the advancement of
women. Governments should take action to address the stereotyping of women and
inequality in women's access to and participation in all communication systems,
especially in the media. In Viet Nam although strengthening gender equality in
the media exists to some extent at the policy level, to date implementation of
the regulations has been low and there is little information available on gender
representations or women's participation in the media.

As a part of UNESCO's activity Capacity-building of MOIC on gender mainstreaming
in written and televised media at central and provincial levels, an
international consultant will conduct a situation analysis on gender in the
media by interviewing relevant MOIC officials and media stakeholders. The
training needs of MOIC and the media sector in Viet Nam in relation to gender
mainstreaming and the Law on Gender Equality will be assessed based on the
interviews and recommendations for forth-coming training workshops on the topic
will be made.

Please find more details on this assignment in the attached terms of reference
attached.
