Top 10 Questions About Women's Day October 20 - Most Interesting and Meaningful

What are the four basic virtues of traditional Vietnamese women 'Industry - Appearance - Speech - Behavior'? How do you perceive the industry, appearance, speech, and behavior of women today?

Answer:

Industry, Appearance, Speech, Behavior have always been the 'golden rule' of women in all eras. However, their meanings have evolved to adapt to modern times.

'Industry': refers to eating habits, work ethics, and the ability to take care of household chores. From taking care of children, weaving, sewing, to cooking, women must perform these tasks efficiently and beautifully. This diligence and skillfulness are essential for creating a harmonious and happy family.

'Appearance': refers to physical beauty. Despite the saying 'virtue is more valuable than beauty,' physical appearance still plays a significant role in partner selection. The standards of beauty have evolved over time, focusing not only on physical health but also on fertility.

'Speech': refers to communication skills, being polite, and knowing when to speak and when to listen. Women should choose their words carefully, balancing firmness and softness, to maintain harmony in relationships.

'When the husband is angry, the wife should speak less,

When the rice is boiling, reduce the fire so that the pot does not overflow.'

'Behavior': encompasses good manners and proper conduct towards everyone, especially towards parents and in-laws. Being gentle and obedient is highly valued.

Traditional women, like ideal wives, should embody all four virtues. As for contemporary women? As society changes, so do perceptions. Modern women have redefined their roles and positions in families and society. However, the standards of women today still cannot be without Industry, Appearance, Speech, Behavior.

'Industry': today no longer confined to just household duties and child-rearing; women also pursue stable careers. Excelling in their profession enhances their value and asserts their role in the family and society. Modern women strive to establish themselves in society.

'Appearance': is not only about health and fertility. Modern women have the freedom to choose various beauty treatments to enhance their appearance. In relationships and careers, besides genuine capabilities, beauty also contributes to their success. Women of all ages have their beauty routines because 'there are no ugly women, only those who do not know how to beautify themselves.'

'Speech': Modern girls not only speak gently, politely, and listen attentively but also need confidence and eloquence in speech. Demonstrating social understanding and intelligent behavior help create a positive impression on others.

Today, perceptions of love and the role of women in love have also changed. Modern girls have the freedom to explore and choose their partners. However, the word 'Behavior' is still essential: it represents sincerity and loyalty, qualities that are always highly valued in women.

When was October 20th recognized as Vietnamese Women's Day?

Answer:

On October 15, 2010, the Secretary of the Party issued Announcement No. 382/TB-TW signed by Mr. Truong Tan Sang recognizing October 20 as Vietnamese Women's Day, demonstrating the Party's concern for the role of women and women's organizations in the country's revolutionary cause.
The Communist Party of Indochina (now the Communist Party of Vietnam) was founded on February 3, 1930. The first Party Charter stated: 'Equal rights for men and women.' Recognizing women as an essential force in the revolution, the Party linked the liberation of the nation and classes to the liberation of women. Women were encouraged to participate in revolutionary organizations, leading to the establishment of women's organizations.

In October 1930, at the First Central Conference of the Party, the Party issued its first resolution on women's work. This historic resolution marked the beginning of a new chapter in the women's movement and organization.

On August 31, 2010, the Presidium of the Vietnam Women's Union submitted Proposal No. 17-TTr/ĐCT to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam requesting the recognition of October 20 as Vietnamese Women's Day.

On October 15, 2010, the Secretary of the Party issued Announcement No. 382/TB-TW signed by Mr. Truong Tan Sang recognizing October 20 as Vietnamese Women's Day with the following opinions:

Essentially agreeing with the content of the Union's Proposal and agreeing to recognize October 20th as Vietnamese Women's Day to deeply reflect the Party's viewpoint on the role of women and women's organizations in the country's revolutionary cause. Every year, on Vietnamese Women's Day, organizations, agencies, and people organize appropriate commemorative activities to promote the fine traditions of Vietnamese women, worthy of the eight golden words 'Heroic, Indomitable, Resourceful, Diligent' bestowed by Uncle Ho.

The Vietnam Women's Union continues to effectively carry out its functions of caring for and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of women; rallying, mobilizing, and empowering women to play their roles and strengths, contributing significantly to the country's construction and defense.

Women's work is the responsibility of the entire political system, of the whole society, and of each family. Party committees, governments, the Vietnam Fatherland Front, and social organizations effectively implement the Party's policies, state laws related to women, and female cadres' work to enable women to fully develop their spirit of mastery, potential, creativity, and highest contribution, contributing to creating the great unity strength of the entire people to develop the country.

Since then, October 20th has become Vietnamese Women's Day every year to honor the role of Vietnamese women for their contributions to family and society.

Today, we are emphasizing gender equality. Does gender equality imply losing the femininity of women?

Answer:

Gender equality does not mean leveling, making women like men or vice versa. Gender equality is simply the equality between women and men in terms of rights, opportunities, responsibilities, and status in family and society.

List the activities organized to promote the role of women in today's society?

Answer:

Our country is highly regarded for gender equality efforts in Southeast Asia, with a high proportion of women participating in social, political, economic, and especially state management activities (the highest in Southeast Asia). To achieve current achievements, it is necessary to elevate the role of the 'Vietnamese Women's Union' which has been fighting to protect the rights of Vietnamese women today. Some activities have been organized to promote the role of women across the country such as:

Firstly, improving the quality of education in rural areas, organizing educational outreach programs nationwide, actively disseminating gender equality. This is a very practical and necessary task. For women to confidently play their roles in social life, women need to have the right awareness of their position and role, especially women in remote areas, who always consider themselves as weak and unable to bear the burden of family and society. Along with that, to promote the role of women in society, the Party, the state, and local authorities also need to do well in gender equality policies in society; doing well in propaganda against phenomena of discrimination, contempt, violence, lack of respect for women in men's perceptions.

Secondly, organizing meetings, propaganda programs about the role and responsibilities of women in the new society, helping people understand the importance and raise confidence for women to contribute to society; as well as organizing annual awards for outstanding women in social work, economic development, etc. Commendation will greatly encourage the spirit, self-confidence of women in society to dare to think, dare to do and see their role capable of carrying out and doing well as men in society.

Thirdly, creating the most favorable conditions for women to access scientific achievements as well as changes in the new period, promoting and improving the effectiveness of propaganda and assistance for women in learning, working, and participating in political and cultural activities.

In the period of industrialization, modernization of the country, we need to create conditions for women to fully play their roles in society. To promote the role, position of women in social development, in addition to the efforts of the women themselves, women also need positive support and support from families and society. Because to participate in social activities, women also have to sacrifice a lot of time, emotions for the family. Without sharing, support from relatives, especially the moral encouragement of husbands, fathers, and mothers, women will find it difficult to dedicate themselves and have a role in society.
