Our Work
Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung Hanoi office is implementing projects across Southeast Asia aimed at strengthening political education and international solidarity. We work with state and non-state partners such as universities, think tanks, research and educational institutions as well as other stakeholders. Since its inception, RLS Hanoi office has been striving for Social Justice and the assertion of social rights. We also emphasize the urgency of Social-Ecological-Transformations, as the Mekong region and maritime Southeast Asia are especially vulnerable to the escalating environmental crises. Apart from that, we work towards strengthening International Dialogue between Germany, Europe and the countries of the Indo-Pacific. In Vietnam and Laos, we also support the exchange and experience sharing on questions related to Socialism in the 21st Century. Below you will find some of the projects, we have realized with our partners over the past years.

Grassroots Democracy and Ethnic Minorities
The Vietnamese state has made great strides in extending the democratic rights of its people. However, their implementation in ethnic minority areas is lagging behind. RLS and its partner are researching measures to strengthen grassroots democracy in these areas in order to further social and economic justice.

Feminist Approaches to Social Development
Despite Vietnam’s historical achievements in working towards gender equality, social development efforts often neglect feminist concepts and methods. The Institute for Social Development Studies therefore provides trainings and supports networks that emphasize these perspectives.

Higher Education on SET in Vietnam
The environmental crisis is effecting the everyday life in Vietnam. The country’s youth is going to play an important role in tackling this complex challenge. Yet, academic debates often neglect systemic factors. RLS and its partner C&E aim to change this by promoting the SET concept in Vietnam’s higher education.
