Spread the campaign "5 no, 3 clean"

(Baonghean) - The campaign "Building a family of 5 no's, 3 clean's" implemented by the Women's Union of Dien Chau district has gradually achieved many positive results. The Union at all levels not only supports members in building a prosperous, equal, progressive, and happy family but also contributes to the community's efforts in building new rural areas and civilized urban areas.

Build multiple effective models

Implementing the campaign to build a family with 5 nos (no poverty, no violations of the law and social evils, no domestic violence, no violations of population policy, no malnourished and dropout children) and 3 cleans (clean house, clean alley, clean environment), the District Women's Union built models according to criteria suitable to the reality at the grassroots level. As a locality with a long-standing tradition of seafood exploitation and processing, most women in the coastal commune of Dien Bich are enthusiastic about participating in the seafood processing model.

In order to connect members in the same profession, the Seafood Processing Club was established and meets every quarter; to educate women about clean processing procedures, to exchange production and processing experiences; and to ensure environmental hygiene. In addition, members also support each other with working days, creating jobs for members in the Club.

Currently, the club has 45 members, creating jobs for about 50 female members. Of which, 5 households create regular jobs for 7 women; average income of 3 million VND/month. Typical examples are the families of Ms. Le Thi Thuy (Bac Chien Thang hamlet), Hoang Thi Bo (Hai Trung hamlet); Vo Thi Oanh (Quyet Thanh hamlet) earning an average profit of 100 - 120 million VND/year from the profession. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lien - President of the Women's Union of Dien Bich commune said: The club has become an effective bridge in exchanging production experiences; helping women improve their income and living standards. Some female members no longer go to the market to trade but have switched to processing for the families of members in the club, with a good income.

In Dien Chau district, there are many effective women's club models operating in Dien Bich, Dien Ngoc, Dien Kim, Dien Thap communes... The Women's Union also proactively implements training programs, transfers of science and technology, changes in production models, and increases economic efficiency for families.

Over the past 5 years, the District Women's Union has coordinated with grassroots associations to support 4,420 members to escape poverty. They not only enrich their families but also create jobs and ensure stable income for many local workers. In addition, women's associations have also undertaken models of "self-managed roads" that are green, clean, and beautiful, "self-managed groups for environmental protection", "Zero-waste beaches", etc.

It has become a habit that every weekend, 100% of women in the entire Dien Chau district put aside their family work to participate in cleaning the roads around the village; collecting garbage, and cleaning the environment. "Thanks to maintaining the model well, women's awareness of environmental sanitation has been significantly improved, the village is clean, beautiful, airy; each family has a trash pit, there is no more littering..." - Ms. Nguyen Thi Ha - President of the Women's Union of Dien Thang commune shared.

In the past 5 years, in the district, there have been many women's propaganda models such as: "Trusted address" maintained by the women's unions of Dien Thap, Dien Hung, Dien Quang communes and operating effectively; "Women with the law" club has been increasingly widespread and promoted well by women's union members of Dien Quang, Dien Hai, Dien Bich communes. The "Good parents raising children" club of Dien Thang commune's women with 30 members has been widely applied and replicated in Dien Thinh, Dien Tho, Dien Loc communes. The model "Families without third or more children" continues to be effective and has been promoted to over 47,000 member households.
