Dong Thap Holds Gathering with Former Women’s Union Leaders

(DTO) On October 19, at the My Tho Ward Cultural House, the Dong Thap Provincial Women’s Union organized a gathering with former Union leaders across various periods. 

The event marked the 96th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam Women’s Union and the 16th anniversary of the official designation of Vietnamese Women’s Day (October 20, 2010 – October 20, 2026).

Speaking at the gathering, Ms. Thai Ngoc Bao Tram—who serves on the Executive Committee of the Vietnam Women’s Union, the Provincial Party Executive Committee, and as President of the Provincial Women’s Union—reviewed the glorious 96-year history of establishment and development of the Vietnam Women’s Union. She affirmed that Women’s Union organizations at all levels throughout the province consistently innovate their operational content and methods, care for women's livelihoods, and protect their legitimate rights and interests, thereby elevating women's standing in both the family and society.

On this occasion, the Provincial Women’s Union launched the 2027 contest “Women’s Innovative Entrepreneurship: Elevating Vietnamese Brands,” aiming to encourage women to foster their creative spirit, apply science and technology, develop distinctive local products, and enhance the value of Vietnamese brands.

Attending the event and delivering directive remarks, Mr. Dinh Van Dung, Member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Permanent Vice Chairman of the provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee, acknowledged and commended the outstanding achievements of the Provincial Women’s Union at all levels in recent times.

He requested Union levels to continue leveraging their traditions of solidarity, focusing strongly on the grassroots, and renewing their content and methods of operation. He also urged them to proactively accompany and support women in economic development, enhance their capacity for integration, and contribute actively to local socio-economic development.

During the event, delegates engaged in exchanges, shared experiences, and recalled key milestones from their tenure in Union service. The Organizing Committee presented gifts to express gratitude to former leaders of the Provincial Women’s Union across various periods.

On this occasion, eight exemplary individuals, representing 105 recipients  across the province, were presented with the “For the Development of Vietnamese Women” Commemorative Medal conferred by the Presidium of the Vietnam Women’s Union Central Committee. The Standing Committee of the Provincial Women’s Union also awarded Certificates of Merit to 10 collectives and 20 individuals for exceptional accomplishments in executing the 2026 emulation movement, “Building Dong Thap Women: United, Warm-hearted, Dynamic, Creative, and Integrated.”
