The workshop

Prestigious individuals are those who always
take the lead in patriotic emulation movements and campaigns, and serve as a
bridge between local authorities and the people, contributing to promoting the
implementation of the Party's guidelines and the State's policies and laws, and
bringing substantial changes to the ethnic minority and mountainous areas,
especially benefiting women.
Addressing the event, Secretary of the
provincial Party Committee Long briefed participants on Hoa Binh’s
socio-economic situation, potential, strengths and unique cultural identity. He
valued the position and role played by women's organisationsin mobilising
the mass's strength in building and developing the country, towards achieving
the goal of gender equality in all fields.
He stressed that the provincial authorities
always pay attention to upholding the role of prestigious individuals and
religious dignitaries in popularising and promoting gender equality in northern
ethnic minorities and mountainous areas.
Delegates shared the theoretical basis and
practical experience in promoting the role of prestigious individuals, and
religious dignitaries in the work.
Chairwoman of the Vietnam Women's Union Ha Thi
Nga appreciated delegates' active participation in discussions to concretise
programmes and goals on gender equality, and introduce good practices in
popularising and promoting gender equality in ethnic minority and mountainous
areas in the coming time.
The union will make recommendations and
proposals to the Party, the State, and the local authorities on solutions to
continue promoting gender equality and solving urgent problems related to women
and children in ethnic minority and mountainous areas, she stressed.
On the occasion, the Vietnam Women's Union
presented five charitable houses worth 250 million VND (nearly 9,800 USD) to
poor women who are members of the VWU’s chapter in Hoa Binh.
In the millennia-long history of national construction and safeguarding, people of all ethnic groups in Hoa Binh have been united and closely bound together to overcome all difficulties and challenges, standing alongside the entire Vietnamese people throughout the history of building and defending the country.
Living green is a healthy, positive, and sustainable lifestyle that not only helps protect
the environment and quality of life but also conserves natural resources and ecosystems.
Among the many ways to embrace this lifestyle, reducing plastic consumption is one of the most impactful.
The women's unions at all levels in Kim Boi district have been making significant contributions to the movement of building cultural life in the local community.
The movement helps improve rural look and the spiritual and material lives of local residents.
The Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee has issued an action plan to ensure food safety, promote processing, and develop the market for agricultural, forestry, and fishery products in 2025.
In recent years, the development of rural handicrafts has not only helped preserve and promote the traditional values but it has also created jobs and improved incomes for the local residents.
