In recent years, women's unions at all levels in Hoa Binh province have made great efforts to prevent domestic violence and protect women and children through numerous activities, towards building prosperous, equitable, progressive, and happy families. Practical programmes, projects, and models have significantly contributed to implementing targets set by Women's Union congresses at all levels.
Members of the "community media team" club, and the "trusted
address" model in Van Nghia commune (Lac Son district) share experiences
in promoting gender equality and solving urgent problems for women and
children.
According to Hoang Thi Duyen, chairwoman of the
provincial Women's Union, in 2024, the union has continued implementing
activities of Project 279 on promoting the good value of family relationships
and supporting the building of happy and sustainable families; maintaining the
operation of a marriage and family counseling team to support women in family
work.
The counseling team has provided support for
domestic violence victims and pre-marital consultations; and popularised
knowledge about the Law on Marriage and Family, the prevention of child abuse,
raising of children and the building of a happy and sustainable family on the
website of the provincial Women's Union.
The union has coordinated with relevant agencies
to detect and support women and children who are victims of domestic violence
and child abuse. Victims’ families are connected to support centres for legal
aid, medical services and psychological counseling to promptly resolve
emergency situations.
Women's unions at all levels have organised 38
competitions, 28 thematic seminars, 55 training courses, focusing on educating
ethics, lifestyle and behavioral skills in the family, helping members build a
sustainable and healthy family environment.
The organisation has coordinated with
departments and sectors to organise thematic talks on the occasion of the
Vietnamese Family Day (June 28) and the national action month against domestic
violence, attracting the participation of 250 delegates and thousands of
members.
In 2024, the union supported 903 women with
disabilities through training, loan support, and job referrals. Training
courses were held for 60 women and families with disabled people, helping them
access legal knowledge and support policies.
The models "Family meals - warm love"
and "Raising healthy children, teaching good children" have
contributed to spreading the responsibility and love in the community.
All chapters of the provincial Women's Union are
striving to give 80% of women and girls who are victims of domestic violence
and human trafficking access to at least one social assistance service, Duyen
said.
In the coming time, effective models will be
expanded, while communication campaigns will be enhanced, towards building
prosperous, equal, progressive, and happy families in the province, she went
on.
To improve the cultural and spiritual life of the elderly, the associations for the elderly at various levels in Hoa Binh province have created many interesting and meaningful activities, attracting the participation of a large number of old people. These activities provide opportunities for them to improve both their physical and mental health, enabling them to live happily and healthily.
The pilot programme for sending Vietnamese workers to the Republic of Korea (RoK) for seasonal agricultural jobs continues under a collaboration between localities of the two countries, running for five years from January 1, 2022.
Staff of the Red Cross Society of Hoa Binh province were deeply moved by a meaningful and humanitarian act by Mr Vu Huu Lung, 86, in Hoa Binh city, to donate his corneas, which brought hopes to those yearning for the light. Before passing away, Lung left behind a noble wish to donate all of his organs, including his corneas, to help patients suffering from blindness and those in need of organ transplants to revive their lives.
In the small house of Bui Van Luong in Bung 2 Hamlet, Thu Phong commune, Cao Phong district, an array of traditional items such as serving trays, woven storage baskets for blankets, sticky rice containers, and bamboo baskets are beautifully and skillfully crafted.
Over the recent past, the education and training sector of Hoa Binh province has paid great attention to reforming management activities, improving teachers’ quality, and innovating teaching methods that focus on quality and efficiency, at the same time with implementing the sector’s emulation campaigns and movements.
The General Hospital of Hoa Binh province is applying modern technologies and advanced medical techniques to enhance the quality of medical examination and treatment, aiming to deliver more accurate diagnoses and improved care for patients.
