Oxfam report highlights gender bias in Vietnamese media

By VnExpress February 22, 2017 | 12:00 am GMT+7

A gap still exists between what journalists believe about equality and how they actually portray women.

A recent report released by the advocacy group Oxfam says that many Vietnamese journalists still hold stereotypical views about female leaders’ skills and qualities, sending the wrong messages to local audiences.

The research team found that journalists in general believe Vietnam needs to increase the role of women in society and economic development. However, the images of women in leadership suggest that what journalists think and what they do may not always match up.

In one of the major findings, the report points out that female leaders are more likely to be associated with family and appearance. Many news reports keep reinforcing this stereotypical ideal of female leaders: they have to be able to handle their family roles as traditional women, and in the workplace as modern women.

Another notable finding is that when journalists seek sources for their stories, they tend to favor men. According to the researchers, who analyzed more than 2,000 articles last year, male sources dominated the news, while female leaders accounted for only 14.3 percent of the sources.

The report also says that most journalists see male sources as more intelligent, decisive and powerful than female leaders.

“Journalists seem to have a general knowledge of gender equality and gender stereotypes, but lack understanding of how these manifest in daily work routines,” according to the report, in a rare criticism of the Vietnamese press.

Oxfam has suggested more training on gender stereotypes for editorial teams. Women’s rights organizations and activists should also communicate more with journalists and news organizations.

How can bus explode??

Two killed, 12 injured in passenger bus explosion in northern Vietnam

Two people have been killed and 12 others hospitalized after an explosion on a sleeper bus travelling in the northern Vietnamese province of Bac Ninh late Tuesday.

The incident occurred as the bus was traveling along a section of National Highway in Que Vo District, Bac Ninh at around 11:00 pm.

The vehicle, carrying license plate number 14B-00694, began its journey at 7:30 pm from Thai Nguyen to Quang Ninh, both provinces in northern Vietnam.

The explosion killed two people aboard the bus and injured 12 others, all of whom were brought to Bac Ninh General Hospital, said Nguyen Tu Quynh, chairman of the provincial People’s Committee.

One of the deceased victims was identified as Duong Van Trung, 29.

Quynh said that among the wounded, three had suffered major injuries because of the force of the blast, though he added that their conditions were not life-threatening.

Local authorities have offered initial support worth VND2 million (US$87.3) for each of the injured victims.

The explosion inflicted heavy damage on the left-hand side of the passenger bus and a section of its front, while debris dotted the street.

Authorities arrived at the scene shortly after being notified and first checked if another potential blast could happen.

The vehicle was towed from the road at around 2:00 am on Wednesday so that an investigation could be carried out.

Local police were still gathering statements from victims as of 3:00 on the same day.

According to Nguyen Van Ngan, 42, who was being treated at the hospital, the blast occurred while most of the passengers were asleep.

“I woke up and was disoriented by the explosion. Glass from the windows was also broken,” Ngan recounted.

Local authorities are investigating the case to determine the cause of the explosion.

No need to be a proper registered biz or shops in order to be taxed, thats the wonders of the taxman, as long as you are living in that cuntry and earning an income thru whatever legal ways you are subject to taxes liao

Many of those non-registered online blogs selling many different kind of wares already kena from the Sinkie taxman number of years back liao, if you can remember many of them came out to voice their concerns & unhappiness but in the end also lan lan
