Despite working on the land, remote ethnic minority women lack equal access to land and capital, and thus have limited opportunity to make decisions which affect their lives. Reliance on agriculture also renders such populations vulnerable to climate change and natural disasters. In addition, there are strong indicators that remote ethnic minority women are often subject to gender-based violence. Discrimination and social isolation further reduces their access to legal representation or protection.
CARE in Vietnam works in these areas with women of different ethnicities to increase their economic opportunities, voice and leadership, and resilience to shocks.
