The first National Symposium titled ‘Negotiating sexualities in moving spaces’ in Vietnam
To promote research, training, intervention and a positive view towards sexuality in Viet Nam and to encourage the realization and protection of people’s sexual rights, the Institute for Social Development Studies (ISDS) in the collaboration with the Center for Creative Initiatives in Health and Population (CCIHP) will host the first National Symposium titled ‘Negotiating sexualities in moving spaces’ in Vietnam.
Qualitative Research on the Social and Cultural Factors Underlying the Skewed Sex Ratio at Birth in Viet Nam
Viet Nam has recently experienced an unusually rapid rise in the sex ratio at birth (SRB). While in 2000 the SRB was still at normal levels and was estimated to be 106.2 male births per 100 female births, it increased to 112.1 in 2008, and was 110.6 according to the 2009 Census. If the sex ratio imbalance continues to increase after 2010, it will bring about significant demographic and social consequences in long term.
