Lao Women Union's Day is a public holiday in Laos, and it is observed on July 20 each year. The holiday commemorates the anniversary of the Lao Women's Union's formation on July 20, 1955.
In Laos, women legally have equal rights to Lao men. They all can vote and inherit properties. However, in practice, Lao women are less educated and typically receive lower wages. They are also underrepresented and have fewer chances to get high-level positions.
Lao Women's Union was first formed in 1955 to protect women's rights and liberate women from the traditional norms within society.
