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 in joining hands to build 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, meeting every quarter; promoting clean processing procedures to women, exchanging production and processing experiences; ensuring 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) with 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, the women's associations have also undertaken the model of "self-managed roads" that are green, clean, and beautiful, "self-managed groups for environmental protection", "Zero-waste beaches"...

It has become a habit that every weekend, 100% of women in the entire Dien Chau district temporarily put aside their family work to participate in sweeping and cleaning the roads around the village and hamlet; collecting garbage, and cleaning the environment. "Thanks to maintaining the model well, women's awareness of environmental sanitation has been significantly raised, the village is clean, beautiful, airy; each family has a garbage 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 associations of Dien Thap, Dien Hung, Dien Quang communes; "Women with the Law" Club has been increasingly widespread, promoted well by women's associations of Dien Quang, Dien Hai, Dien Bich communes. The "Parents raising good children" club of women of Dien Thang commune 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, having been propagated to over 47 thousand member households.
