Various activities will be held within the congress’ framework, including a photo exhibition, a texting campaign to raise funds to support at least 130 livelihood models worth 13 billion VND (569,800 USD) for women in border areas, and a dialogue on gender equality and women empowerment.
On the occasion, the VWU Central Committee launched a special emulation movement to implement creative and effective works to welcome the congress, along with a number of other movements among women.
In the 2022-2027 tenure, the association aims to promote women’s tradition of solidarity and creativity, while affirming the association’s role in protecting women.
