Biography

Vo Kieu Bao Uyen is a freelance journalist with eight years of experience in various media platforms including broadcast, print, and digital in Vietnam. 

Her long-form investigative stories cover struggles faced by Vietnamese individuals and communities vis-à-vis development and social injustice, especially vulnerable and minority groups such as female workers in factories, Vietnamese migrant workers overseas, domestic rural-to-urban migrant workers, and workers in the informal sector. Bao Uyen has also produced many pieces related to environmental issues due to unsustainable economic growth, especially in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta and Southern Vietnam. 

Prior to becoming a freelance journalist, she spent two years working at The Saigon Times, which is a leading magazine known for in-depth national policy analyses in Vietnam. A lot of her pieces are published in Vietnam’s leading publications like VnExpress - the most read Vietnamese newspaper and Nguoi Do Thi – the newspaper specializing in environmental issues. 

Bao Uyen is one of five journalists from Vietnam to have received the Certificate of Journalism for an Equitable Asia Award 2019-2020 (co-hosted by Asia Centre and Oxfam Asia). She earned her bachelor’s degree in French Linguistics and Literature from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City.
