In Vietnam the government has virtually prohibited the formation of independent political parties, labour unions and human rights organisations. However, the government allowed for open market economy to flourish and as a result the economy of Vietnam improved bringing benefits to its citizens. Where is the balance between civil liberties and freedoms and economic rights?

Please join us for the next Western Sydney Open Forum, titled ‘Open Markets and the Vietnamese Human Rights Dilemma’. The guest speakers on the night will be:

Chris Hayes MP, Federal Member for Fowler and Dinh Tran, Registrar, Family Court of Australia who will share their insights into the current human rights situation in Vietnam.

The forum will be held on Wednesday 6 April on the Parramatta South campus of Western Sydney University, Building EA Room EA.G.18 with refreshments at 5:30pm for a 6:00pm start.
