The 13th National Women's Congress, term 2022 - 2027, will be held from March 9 - 11, 2022, in Hanoi. According to the plan, this Congress will have 1,000 official delegates who are outstanding women, representing women's forces, ethnicities, religions and different fields of activity nationwide and about 200 invited delegates. The Congress is tasked with evaluating the women's movement and activities of the Association over the past 5 years and setting out directions and tasks for the term 2022 - 2027.

The delegation of women from Nghe An province has 17 delegates representing more than 45,000 women's union members in the whole province, led by comrade Nguyen Thi Quynh Hoa - President of the Provincial Women's Union.

Before the congress, official delegates of Nghe An province also expressed many thoughts and expectations.

Ms. Ho Thi Loan - President of Quy Chau District Women's Union

There need to be many support policies to attract and gather members.

This is the first time I have represented the district’s women’s union members to attend the National Women’s Congress. In recent years, the union’s work in the area has received attention from the Party Committee, the government, the Fatherland Front and mass organizations. The union’s staff are mostly young and enthusiastic about the movement, and the union members have actively responded to emulation movements…

However, besides the advantages, the association's work also has some difficulties such as some women are not aware of their role in the organization. In addition, some women do not have stable jobs so they go to work far away or there are some barriers that make the work of gathering members face some limitations.

In order for the association's activities to improve in the coming time, I hope that in the 13th National Women's Congress, the Central Association will make proposals to the Party, the State and departments and branches to create more mechanisms and policies for grassroots association work such as operating costs, mechanisms and policies for personnel work, etc.

In addition, I think that in order for women to actively participate in the movement, it is necessary to propagate and mobilize them to see the mechanisms and policies of the Party and the State. Therefore, I hope that the association will continue to coordinate with relevant departments and sectors to open vocational training classes to solve employment and develop the economy. The association also needs to do a good job of advising departments and sectors, especially banks, to create loans for poor households, helping women build household economies, eliminate hunger and reduce poverty.

Promoting the role of women in the family

We are honored to attend this congress because we see the careful, elaborate and early preparation of the Central Committee, especially the political report.

Of the 5 groups of contents mentioned by the congress, I really like and hope that the congress will have many solutions to implement 2 contents: women fostering Vietnamese family values ​​and women with the digital economy. These are 2 very practical contents and suitable for the development trend of the country and the world.

In recent years, these are also two contents that we have implemented at the grassroots level, but to be profound, effective and widespread, there are still many difficult issues that need to be resolved, especially the implementation mechanisms. Meanwhile, we see that, in this day and age, women cultivating family values ​​is a very necessary issue because the development of the family is the prosperity of the country. In recent years, the Party and the State have paid much attention and issued many documents, laws... but due to its own characteristics, family work has encountered many difficulties and is affected by the market mechanism. Therefore, to do well, it requires the participation of the entire political system.

At the congress, I also hope that by identifying key tasks such as supporting women to develop comprehensively and building prosperous, happy, progressive and civilized Vietnamese families, this content will be implemented more and more effectively, extensively and practically.

Concerned about gender equality

One of the areas of concern at this Congress is the issue of gender equality. Over the years, the workgender equalityThere have been positive changes, but in remote areas, areas with large ethnic minority populations like the area where we live, there are still limitations, such as male preference and female discrimination, "preference" for sons when choosing the sex of the fetus...

At this congress, I hope that the issue of gender equality will continue to receive attention. Thereby, further raising the awareness and responsibility of Party committees at all levels, authorities, socio-political organizations, and people of all walks of life regarding the position, role, and capacity of women. At the same time, condemning and fighting against all thoughts and behaviors that discriminate against women, harm the safety of women and children, creating conditions for the association to perform its role and functions well.

Besides, it offers solutions to build Vietnamese women in the new era in the spirit of equality, development and integration./.
