Women's Union members, in traditional ao
dai, take part in a mass dance performance to celebrate "Ao Dai Week"
2024.
This event celebrates ao
dai, Vietnam's traditional dress, while also commemorating key national
milestones, including the 50th anniversary of the liberation of southern
Vietnam, the 65th anniversary of the Dong Khoi Movement, the 60th anniversary
of the "Three Responsibilities" Movement, the 115th anniversary of International
Women’s Day (March 8, 1910 – 2025), and the 1,985th anniversary of the Hai Ba
Trung Uprising.
Taking place from March 1 to 8, this year's "Ao Dai Week" will
feature a variety of meaningful activities. The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh
Women's Union is encouraging its members, along with civil servants and public
employees, to wear ao dai to work throughout the week, with a coordinated
effort for all participants to don the traditional dress on March 8.
Other activities include practicing and performing mass folk dances set to
patriotic songs such as "Hello Ho Chi Minh City" and "Co Gai Sai
Gon Di Tai Dan" (Saigonese Girls Carry Ammunition for the Liberation
Force). Local Women's Union chapters have been urged to work closely with Party
committees and governments to integrate folk dance performances into community
events. Additionally, efforts will be made to promote "Ao Dai Week"
and the mass folk dance performances across various media platforms. A
province-wide folk dance performance and an ao dai parade are scheduled for
March 5.
One of the key highlights of this year’s celebration will be a mass folk dance
performance at Hoa Binh Square, featuring approximately 1,500 participants.
Similar events will be organised in districts across the province, tailored to
local conditions. To further promote the cultural significance of ao dai, the
provincial Women's Union also encourages honourary male members to join in the
festivities.
"Ao Dai Week" not only promotes the beauty of Vietnam’s traditional
attire but also fosters national pride, unity, and the enduring spirit of
Vietnamese women in modern society.
