(Baonghean.vn) - October 20th probably does not have much meaning for women who are struggling to make a living like any other normal day.

| At Vinh Market on the day before October 20th, it is easy to see women who have to brave the wind and rain to make a living. For them, this holiday seems to not exist and when asked, most of them have the answer "we know October 20th is Vietnamese Women's Day but we don't pay attention to when it comes and goes".
