Vietnam does not have a separate law on discrimination as such. There are however provisions of the Constitution and the Labour Code that are relevant to discrimination. Generally, discrimination on the grounds of sex, race, social class, religion or belief is prohibited by law. The Labour Code provides that every person has the right to work, to freely choose a job, and to improve their professional skills without discrimination due to gender, race, social class, religion or belief.
The Labour Code also contains a general provision prohibiting any acts that insult the honour and dignity of female workers.
