Every year, the Association's vocational training institutions coordinate to introduce vocational training to 75,000 female workers, supporting 2,500 women to start businesses. During this term, the Women's Union focuses its resources on promoting two breakthroughs: first, improving the effectiveness of monitoring, social criticism, consulting, and policy proposals, contributing to solving women's urgent problems; second, improving the quality of organization and operation of grassroots associations, diversifying forms of women's gathering, and promoting the ownership of women's members.

Mr. Nguyen Thien Nhan awarded the Second Class Independence Medal to Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Hoa.

Speaking at the Congress, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Nguyen Thien Nhan agreed with and highly appreciated the results of the activities of the Women's Union in recent times. The Union is a member of the Front, an important organization and has made active and continuous contributions to the cause of national liberation, construction and protection of the Fatherland.

All activities of the Front are based on coordination with member organizations, including the Vietnam Women's Union. In particular, in the movement to build new rural areas, escape poverty sustainably, protect the environment, build happy families... women play a very important role.

Regarding the activities of the Vietnam Women's Union in the coming time, Mr. Nguyen Thien Nhan said: The movement "Women actively study, work creatively and build happy families" needs to connect and accompany the movement of the Front. The targets set by the Union for the 2017-2022 term need to be specific and practical.

“The way women choose targets for their establishments is very good. Each establishment knows and does it themselves. With these targets, the Women's Union will continue to contribute to the national Front movement. The comrades discussed and set a goal of supporting the formation of 300 cooperatives led by women in the next 5 years, which is a new point compared to the previous term. There are many good production households, but individual households are not a long-term model compatible with the market,” said Mr. Nguyen Thien Nhan.

At the Congress, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Nguyen Thien Nhan, on behalf of the Party and State leaders, awarded the Second Class Independence Medal to Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Hoa, former President of the Vietnam Women's Union./.
