The Vietnam Women's Publishing House hopes that in addition to books, sharing about gender and gender equality integrated in the discussion will help students be able to recognize outdated customs and gender stereotypes in the community where they live. From there, contributed to changing the way of thinking and working for mountainous ethnic people.
