Project Mission Statement
This section provides open and lasting access to the project’s key outputs, including publications, teaching resources, feminist judgments, and academic activities. It serves as a long-term archive of research, conference records, and legal knowledge developed by the UEL Feminist Legal Theory Project.
A flagship stream of the project that adapts feminist judgment methodology to the Vietnamese legal context. Explore rewritten judicial decisions that highlight gendered perspectives and structural inequalities.
In 2022, we began a new project called "Feminist Judgments" with the expectation of publishing a book to contribute to the global discourse on feminist legal research. We were fortunate to receive the support of Professor Rosemary Hunter, arguably one of the pioneers of this research area. We had a seminar with her to receive guidance on the methodology and philosophy of the feminist judgments project. As a result, the book "Towards a Vietnamese Feminist Judgment" was published at the end of 2023. We are expecting volume II of the book in 2026.

Formed by undergraduate students representing their academic institutions.

A biennial academic forum hosted by the University of Economics and Law (UEL) documenting scholarly dialogue on feminist jurisprudence since 2021.
The International Conference on Feminism, Gender and Law (ICFGL) is a biennial academic forum hosted by the University of Economics and Law (UEL) in collaboration with international partners. The conference brings together scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to engage with contemporary developments in feminist legal theory and its application across diverse areas of law. ICFGL has developed into a sustained platform for scholarly exchange and collaboration. It supports the dissemination of research, fosters critical dialogue, and contributes to the advancement of feminist jurisprudence in Vietnam and beyond.
Each edition produces a repository of papers, proceedings, and recorded sessions that contribute to the project's long-term research archive.
