Promoting the tradition of 'Heroic, indomitable, loyal, and courageous'

(Baonghean) - After 30 years of renovation, the country and homeland have achieved many great achievements. The Party Committee and people of Nghe An continue to promote the tradition of the revolutionary homeland, achieving important results in many fields. Among them, the active contributions of women cannot be ignored.

During the past term, the Nghe An Women's Union has constantly innovated the content and methods of operation to mobilize women of all classes to participate in patriotic emulation movements, contributing to the successful implementation of the economic, cultural, social, defense and security development goals of the province. Emulation movements and mobilizations have been deployed by all levels of the union in all fields, creating conditions and opportunities for women to demonstrate their abilities and fulfill their civic responsibilities to the community.

On the ideological and social security front, there are typical movements such as: "Women with environmental sanitation work"; "Propaganda and dissemination of laws for ethnic minority women"; "Women join hands to build new rural areas"... In the economic field, we can mention the movements: "Good at public work, good at housework", the movement to build a team of "Loyal, creative, dedicated, exemplary" cadres, civil servants... Thanks to that, thousands of women members have risen up to escape poverty.

Many women have become exemplary role models of creative labor, many typical models of women doing good business have been built and replicated... contributing to the work of hunger eradication, poverty reduction and building cultural life in residential areas. Cadres and women's union members in the whole province have donated money, rice, construction materials, seeds, livestock... worth over 11 billion VND to help thousands of women union members in difficult circumstances.

In particular, implementing Directive 03/CT-TW of the Politburo on "Continuing to promote studying and following the moral example of Ho Chi Minh", the association has also built many models aimed at women of the new era: Innovating working style and manner; Focusing on planning, training and fostering female cadres; Improving the quality of association activities, especially in special areas such as border areas and coastal areas;... More and more female cadres are participating in leadership and management positions and in any position, women have clearly demonstrated their capacity and political qualities, and have performed well in the assigned work.

Not only creating conditions for women to take on important roles in society, the organization is also a solid, reliable support, representing and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of women of all classes. The development of the women's movement, the progress and achievements of women of all classes have important significance and are the pride of women in the Soviet homeland during the renovation period.

However, we also need to clearly see some shortcomings and limitations: The situation of female workers lacking jobs; the material and spiritual life of a segment of women is still difficult, the rate of poor households headed by women is still high...

In order to successfully implement the set goals, targets and tasks, actively contribute our efforts with the Party Committee and people of the province to soon turn Nghe An into an economic center of the North Central region and a fairly developed province in the Northern region, in the 2016 - 2021 term, the Nghe An Women's Union needs to carry out the following key tasks:

Firstly, the Women's Union needs to promote the movement of women participating in economic development and sustainable poverty reduction. Effectively implement policies, projects, and target programs for economic and social development, job creation, and poverty reduction support of the Central and the province. Continue to pay attention to poor women, ethnic minority women, female workers in industrial parks, economic zones, and girls.

Second, the Women's Union at all levels needs to study and develop a plan to implement the contents of the Campaign "Building a family of 5 no's and 3 clean's" to be worthy of the content of the National Target Program on New Rural Construction in the spirit of Notice No. 223/TB - VPCP dated August 8, 2016 of the Prime Minister at the working session with the Central Presidium of the Vietnam Women's Union. Actively mobilize women of all walks of life to practice the civilized and cultural lifestyle of Nghe An people; help women fulfill their motherhood and raise their children well; contribute to preserving and promoting the good cultural values ​​of Vietnamese families.

Third, the Association strengthens its participation in social supervision and criticism; closely coordinates with departments, branches and sectors to propose legal policies related to the legitimate rights and interests of women, families and children; Focuses on disseminating legal knowledge, moral education, and improving all aspects of women's qualifications. Continues to promote "Studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, style and morality" associated with building the image of Nghe An women: "Healthy, knowledgeable, dynamic, creative, responsible to the community"; diversifies types of gatherings to attract members, and pays attention to building a strong Association base in special areas. Strengthens training and fostering capacity, political qualities, and methods of mass mobilization for Association officials at all levels. Take care of building and advising the Party on the work of developing female cadres, carefully study Resolution 11/NQ - TW of the Politburo on "Women's work in the period of promoting industrialization and modernization of the country" to promptly propose to the Party Committee and government policies and strategies to promote women's potential in socio-economic development and building the political system.

Nghe An is a province with a relatively high proportion of female intellectuals. In order to promote the potential of more than 90,000 female cadres, workers and civil servants in the cause of building the homeland and the country, in the coming term, the Nghe An Provincial Women's Union needs to guide and support the establishment of the Provincial Women's Intellectuals Association to create conditions to encourage women to contribute the most intelligence and effort to society, while being the core force in the women's movement. Party committees at all levels, heads of agencies, departments and branches need to continue to pay attention to leading the movement and activities of the Women's Union; mobilize society to implement gender equality, improve the quality of the Union's cadres and female cadres to meet the requirements of the period of accelerating industrialization and modernization.

Promoting the tradition of Vietnamese women as "Heroic, indomitable, loyal, and courageous", we believe that in the coming time, Nghe An Women's Union will continue to make worthy contributions to the cause of innovation of the homeland in the spirit of the Resolution of the 18th Provincial Party Congress.
