Improve the quality of women's affairs

Over the past time, the task of mobilizing female civil servants, public employees and workers in the province has had good changes in content and form of activities, and the quality has been improved. The establishment, consolidation, and improvement of the quality and operational efficiency of Public Women's Affair Boards are focused on and done by all levels of trade unions in the province.

Grassroots trade union of Motomotion Company (Ben Cat Town) give gifts on March 8 to women union members.

Pay attention to women's policies

Binh Duong currently has nearly 1.3 million workers, of which about 56% are women workers. With this characteristic, trade unions at all levels in the province have gradually improved the quality of Women's Affair Boards. Namely, up to now, the whole province has 2,971 grassroots trade unions out of a total of 3,145 unions qualified to establish a Women's Affair Board. Many Women's Affair Boards have clearly promoted their competence and tasks in developing plans for women's programs of their units and enterprises.

Some local Labor Confederations of Tan Uyen City, Thuan An City, Di An City, Ben Cat Town... have done well in checking and monitoring regimes and policies for female workers; promptly resolve or reflect problems and recommendations to the government and trade unions, especially maternity benefits. Every year, the upper level of grassroots trade unions holds conferences and seminars to learn about and grasp the thoughts, aspirations, opinions and suggestions of female union members and workers, find timely solutions, such as: policy to support women workers, organize activities for women workers on big holidays, March 8 and October 20 every year.

Le Minh Hoang, Vice Chairman of Tan Uyen City Labor Confederation, said that Confederation of Labor of Tan Uyen City directed grassroots trade unions to effectively implement women's affairs, creating conditions for women workers to work, study, improve their professional qualifications, and fulfill their rights and obligations well. At the same time, Women's Affair Boards organized, guided and encouraged female union members to work, study, thoroughly grasp or participate in gender-specific activities according to their functions and tasks.

Activities for women workers

Recognizing the role of women workers' movements and women's activities in common workers' movement, trade unions at all levels in the province are consolidating and improving the quality and effectiveness of operations and activities of Women's Affair Boards. Recently, Provincial Labor Federation organized a training conference to improve the quality of women's affairs. According to Ong Thuy Hoang Mai, Vice Chairwoman of Provincial Labor Confederation, in recent times, the work of mobilizing female workers in the province has had many innovations in content and form of activities, and the quality has been improved. However, women's activities in some units are not really effective and practical. Therefore, regular training for trade union staff on tasks, content, methods and skills of organizing activities of Women's Affair Boards is necessary.

Binh Duong Industrial Parks’ Trade Union organized a contest "Fashion from recycled materials" to help many female union members show off their talents.

In fact, trade unions at all levels in the province regularly organize training conferences on improving the quality of women's affairs to help union officials have opportunities to exchange and share advantages, difficulties, and methods of organizing women's activities at the grassroots level based on each unit's actual situation. Through exchanges, Women's Affair Boards study and apply appropriate things in accordance with conditions of each unit and enterprise. This activity also helps Women's Affair Boards improve their professional skills for women's activities, enhance the board’s advisory role to Executive Committees of grassroots Trade Unions to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of women workers according to provisions of law, especially the propaganda of the Party's policies, the State’s laws, and trade union’s regulations related to women workers through dissemination of Law on Marriage and Family, Law on Gender equality, Law on Domestic Violence Prevention and Control; organize seminars and talks on gender equality...

In its tasks, Women's Affair Boards of grassroots trade unions also need to diversify forms of women's activities, such as: discussions, get-togethers, and forums and thematic activities to attract the participation of a large number of female employees. Besides, Women's Affair Boards also need to focus on activities to foster women workers, increase women's access to agencies and units...
