Political participation is one of the fundamental human rights widely recognised in core United Nations international human rights treaties. As an active and responsible member of the international community, Vietnam has continuously endeavoured to enforce international commitments and create a legal environment for the equal enjoyment of the political rights of all people, particularly women. However, given the gender characteristics and social stereotypes that have existed for many generations, ethnic minority women and girls are always at a disadvantage within the family and outside society. They face discrimination and compound inequality – both on the grounds of ethnicity and gender – in their living environment. It affects their accessibility, participation and enjoyment of their rights, including the right to participate in politics. This article will study the compatibility between international law and Vietnam’s policies in ensuring the political rights of ethnic minority women. It also identifies barriers to the enjoyment of their right to political power and makes recommendations to improve ethnic women’s position and voice in political life
