The document discusses women's rights under Confucianism and in the Hong Duc code in Vietnam. It outlines how Confucianism viewed women as subordinate to men and focused on their roles as wives and mothers. The Hong Duc code provided some protections for women, including defining their rights in marriage, property ownership, and divorce. It also established punishments for violating women's health and established lighter punishments for women in some cases. Overall, the code took a more positive view of women's rights compared to traditional Confucian ideals, but gender equality was still lacking.
