The “Khuôn là khổ” (Stereotypes are Burdensome) Unitour seminar, part of the “I Agree” communication campaign, recently visited Hanoi Medical University.

The “Khuôn là khổ” (Stereotypes are Burdensome) Unitour seminar, part of the “I Agree” communication campaign, recently visited Hanoi Medical University. The event took place on 28 October at the Building B lecture hall, focusing on the compelling theme: “Gender Stereotypes in the Healthcare System in Vietnam.” Students participating in the seminar had the opportunity to interact with and listen to insights from the following speakers:

Mr. Vuong Kha Phong - LGBTI Rights Program Manager at the Institute for Studies of Society, Economy and Environment (iSEE);

Ms. Nguyen Thi Bich Hau - Student at Hanoi Medical University, creator of the TikTok channel “Hấu học Y”;

MSc. MD. Ngo Hai Son - Department of Odonto-Stomatology - Plastic - Aesthetic Surgery, Viet Duc University Hospital, alumnus of Hanoi Medical University;

Ms. Dac Thi Kieu Hong - Community Capacity Building Officer at IT'S T TIME.

Through open sharing and discussion, students gained a deeper understanding of gender, sexuality, and strategies to address gender stereotypes, including those concerning the LGBTI+ community in Vietnam, particularly within the healthcare environment.

Furthermore, during the seminar, many students contributed their signatures to the “I Agree” campaign—a communication initiative aimed at promoting the legalization of same-sex marriage in Vietnam.

This was an opportunity for future healthcare professionals to raise their awareness and demonstrate sensitivity toward gender issues, thereby improving the quality of healthcare delivery for the public, especially for vulnerable groups in need of protection.
