This is the peak month focusing on propaganda, mobilization, raising awareness and responsibility of all levels, sectors and the whole society to prevent and combat domestic violence, contributing to building prosperous, progressive, happy and civilized families.
In Nghe An, family work and domestic violence prevention and control have always received attention from Party committees and authorities at all levels and have been implemented synchronously from the province to the grassroots. Thanks to that, precious traditional values such as patriotism, love of homeland, solidarity, studiousness, diligence and creativity in work, resilience, indomitability... have been preserved, cultivated and promoted by families in Nghe An.
