Upholding this tradition, women in the province over time made efforts to overcome difficulties; actively took part in the local patriotic emulation movements, especially the emulation movement of “Women actively study, creatively work and build up happy families”. Especially, many exemplary role-models were discovered through the campaign of “Studying and following late President Ho Chi Minh’s exemplary morals”.

Under the emulation movement of “Women helping each other in economic development”, as many as 9,223 well-off women helped 8,647 needy ones get more than VND17bln in loan. Nearly 92% of members in 2014 registered to realize the campaign of “Building up families with 5 No-s and 3 Clean-s”. As of late 2014, there were nearly 93% female-headed families meeting criteria of the campaign.

Addressing the get-together, Mr.Tu extended best regards to heroic Vietnamese mothers and all women on the occasion of the 105^th anniversary of International Women’s Day and the 1,975^th anniversary of the two Trung sisters’ Uprising. He also spoke highly of achievements done by provincial Women’s Unions at all levels as well as contributions by women to the local socio-economic development while believing that the local women’s movements would reach in-depth development, contributing to fulfilling the local tasks on socio-economic development.
