(HBO) – The Women’s Union of Hoa Binh province held a workshop share experience in fighting human trafficking in response to the World Day against Trafficking in Persons.
The
event was attended by nearly 50 delegates from provincial agencies, departments
and sectors, leaders from the districts of Kim Boi, Ky Son and Da Bac, and Hoa
Binh city and representatives of Women’s Unions of 11 districts and Hoa Binh
city.
At the workshop, they watched a documentary on
the fight against human trafficking conducted by the Vietnam Women’s Union
Central Committee and listened to a report on this work nationwide.
From 2006 to mid-2019, 1,059 human trafficking
cases were uncovered across the country, involving 1,432 traffickers and 2,674
victims. Up to 892 or over 80 percent of the cases sold people to China with
1,187 traffickers and 2,319 victims, accounting for over 86 percent of the
total trafficked persons. A large number of cases were discovered in the
provinces bordering China
like Lao Cai, Ha Giang, Dien Bien and Quang Ninh.
Traffickers formed many trans-provincial and
trans-national rings or gangs using sophisticated ruses to trick people into
prostitution, illegal marriages or forced labour.
Participants at the event looked into the human
trafficking situation in Vietnam,
especially the trafficking of people to China. Hoa Binh province hasn’t
recorded any such cases in recent years.
They pointed out difficulties, challenges,
causes and experience in the combat against human trafficking, giving
authorised agencies proposals in terms of the building and implementation of
programmes, plans and measures to effectively fight back this type of crime./.
The people in Hoa Binh province are aware of the need to build and preserve the cultural traditions and unique customs of their communities, especially those related to ethnic identities and family values which serve as foundation for a vibrant, tradition-rich Hoa Binh, enriching community life. In recent years, the province’s Party Committee, authorities, and residents have paid heed to building and developing family values and fostering human standards in the new era.
The festival of great national solidarity and culture in 2024 was held at the communal house of Da Bac district on November 5. Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Toan and leaders of departments and sectors attended the event.
The Labor Federation of Da Bac district has focused on protecting workers' rights while actively participating in patriotic emulation movements to enhance the creativity and productivity of the local workforces across agencies, organisations and enterprises.
In recent years, the Women's Union of Yen Thuy district has actively contributed to the implementation of the National Target Program on building new the rural areas. The Union's activities not only help raise awareness of environmental protection for the members, the women, and the people but they also contribute to improving the appearance of rural areas and improving the quality of life.
The model of intergenerational self-help club (ISC) has been expanded in Mai Chau district over recent times, contributing to sharing and motivating the disadvantaged people, especially the elderly, to improve their lives.
Following President Ho Chi Minh’s teachings that emulation is patriotism, patriotism requires emulation, the trade union at all levels in Hoa Binh has effectively implemented patriotism emulation movements, especially the "effective, creative working” movement. Responding to the movement, local workers, public servants, and officials have proposed many creative and applicable ideas, helping spread the movement to all agencies, units, and businesses.
