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.
The emulation movement "Hoa Binh joining hands to build new-style rural areas” has been widely spreading, becoming a driving force that motivates the localities to renew rural landscapes and improve the material and spiritual lives of the residents. In this movement, the people play a central role-both as the main implementers and direct beneficiaries of its outcomes.
In response to the global digital revolution, Hoa Binh Newspaper is transforming itself into a modern and multi-platform media hub, blending cutting-edge technology with a restructured newsroom and a new generation of tech-savvy journalists.
Hoa Binh province’s Association of the Elderly recently held a conference to review the project on expanding the inter-generation self-help club model until 2025.
In a move to implement Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW, issued on December 22, 2024 by the Politburo, which targets breakthroughs in science-technology development, innovation, and digital transformation, the Hoa Binh provincial Department of Health has issued a plan to roll out the "Digital Literacy for All” campaign within the local health sector.
An Nghia Commune (Lạc Sơn District) is one of the communes that achieved the tha standard of the national new rural area in 2018. Entering a new development phase, the commune is now trying to meet the criteria for the advanced new rural development. With the strong political will and the public consensus, the commune is gradually overcoming the challenges to reach this goal, aiming for the sustainable development.
