In an online video, they said migrant workers are a source of sustainable contributions to Vietnam's economy. While migration has provided many women opportunities to improve their lives and families, Vietnamese migrant women, at the same time, face challenges, especially in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
The Ambassadors of countries and representatives of international organisations praised the efforts of the Vietnamese Government, and pledged to work with Vietnamese agencies and international partners to protect and empower Vietnamese migrant women in the digital context.
