In 1955, the Lao Women’s Union was established to protect the rights of all women in Lao PDR. This mass organisation works to represent the interests of every woman through its national network of more than one million members extending from Vientiane Capital right down to villages, which is crucial in a country where 68% of the population live in rural areas. An important part of the Lao Women’s Union’s work is advocating for the protection of women’s rights under the law, especially their right to live free from violence and eliminate gender-based violence against women from all sections of society.
