1. Speech for International Women's Day (March 8) - Version 4
Distinguished guests,
Dear teachers and students,
Dear students,
The spring rains are filling the air, blending the joy of nature's beauty with the pride of humanity on this grand occasion – International Women's Day, March 8th. Today, we gather to celebrate the XXth anniversary of International Women's Day and the XXth anniversary of the Hai Ba Trung Uprising. First, I would like to extend my warmest greetings to the school leadership, esteemed guests, and all the women present!
Distinguished guests, teachers, students,
Dear students,
March 8th is a day to celebrate the beauty and acknowledge the important role women play in society and life. It is a time when women receive love and recognition from society, family, communities, and loved ones. To honor and remember the proud history of the international women's movement, especially the women of Vietnam, let us reflect on the significance of International Women's Day.
The history of March 8th dates back to the labor movement of female workers in the textile industry in the United States during the late 19th century. On March 8, 1857, female workers in New York stood up against their harsh working conditions. Two years later, female textile workers formed the first union and won several rights.
About 50 years later, on March 8, 1908, 15,000 women marched through the streets of New York demanding higher wages, shorter working hours, and the abolition of child labor. Subsequently, the Socialist Party of the United States declared the first National Women's Day on February 28, 1909.
However, on March 8, 1910, at the International Women's Conference held by the Second International (Socialist International), 100 delegates from 17 countries called for women's suffrage. The conference, led by Clara Zetkin, a German woman, proposed establishing an International Women's Day to honor those women who fought worldwide.
The conference decided to choose March 8th as International Women's Day, a day for solidarity and the struggle for women's rights, with slogans such as “Eight-hour workday,” “Equal work, equal pay,” and “Protect mothers and children.”
Since then, March 8th has been celebrated as a day of global struggle for working women, symbolizing their determination in the fight for national independence, democracy, peace, and social progress; for the rights and happiness of women and children.
Along with the growth of the global women's movement, in Vietnam, after the success of the August Revolution in 1945, the Party and President Ho Chi Minh paid great attention to the Women's Union. In 1948, the Vietnam Women's Union became an official member of the World Democratic Women's Federation. Through its active contributions during the wars against French colonialism and American imperialism, Vietnamese women made invaluable contributions to the global women's movement through their courageous fight for the country's independence and freedom. The image of Vietnamese women is widely recognized and respected around the world.
Dear esteemed guests and all women,
In addition to the global celebration of International Women's Day, in our country, March 8th also holds significant meaning as it commemorates the Hai Ba Trung Uprising, led by the two first female generals of the nation (which occurred in March 40 AD). From the dawn of history, the Trung Sisters fought to drive out foreign invaders, protecting the territory of Vietnam. Trung Trac and Trung Nhi were twin daughters of the Lac Lord of Me Linh and the nobleman Man Thien. Orphaned at a young age, the two sisters were raised by their mother in martial arts and other practical skills. Trung Trac’s husband, Thi Sach, was the son of the Lac Lord of Chu Dien (modern-day Hanoi).
At that time, the Eastern Han Dynasty ruled Vietnam. They exploited the people cruelly, fueling the anger of the population. The Lac Lords conspired with other local leaders to prepare for an uprising. Tragically, Thi Sach was killed by the Han soldiers.
In response to the loss of their country and her husband, Trung Trac, with her sister Trung Nhi, launched the revolt in Phuc Tho, present-day Hanoi. The uprising gained support from all over the country, creating a powerful force that defeated the invading Han army. Within a short time, the forces of the Trung Sisters captured 65 counties and restored Vietnam’s sovereignty, defeating the Northern feudal invasion. The revolt succeeded, and the sisters became queens of the country, establishing their capital in Me Linh. Numerous female generals, such as Thanh Thien, Bat Nan, Thieu Hoa, and Dieu Tien, rose to prominence during this era. The Trung Sisters’ contributions to the nation were immense, and they became national symbols of female heroism. Not only in Vietnam but globally, they are considered among the first women to fight for independence and freedom for their country.
Throughout the wars against French and American imperialism, Vietnamese women continued to write their names into the history of the nation, carrying on the legacy of the Trung Sisters and other female heroes like Mother Suot, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Mac Thi Boi, and Nguyen Thi Dinh. These women remain immortal in the hearts of the Vietnamese people, having sacrificed their youth in the face of bombs and bullets, leaving a legacy of peace and progress. Thus, Vietnamese women have always played a vital role in the defense and development of the nation. They preserve cultural identity, and are the backbone of a thriving, modern society. They are not only homemakers but also active contributors in various fields of life.
Dear distinguished guests and all women,
Reflecting on the contributions of Vietnamese women, we take great pride in the dedication of the female teachers and staff of our school, who have tirelessly worked to build our institution over the past 54 years. They embody the spirit of Vietnamese women: “Dynamic, creative, loyal, and hardworking,” striving for excellence in all areas of work, study, and family life.
Our school’s women have accomplished remarkable feats in both study and work. (Highlight achievements)
The achievements of the women of our school are the result of their hard work, as well as the support and encouragement of the school leadership and the positive involvement of the community. On this International Women's Day, let us share our congratulations and best wishes to all the female teachers, staff, and students of our school, each of whom plays a vital role in shaping the beauty and success of our institution.
Dear esteemed guests, dear women,
To further enhance the success of our national initiatives and make the most of every opportunity to contribute to the school’s progress, the Women’s Union of our school is pleased to announce the following key programs for the year 20XX...
We trust that with the continued support of the school leadership and male colleagues, our women will strive to achieve outstanding results in our initiatives, contributing significantly to the success of the school’s mission.
Finally, in the spirit of celebration, on behalf of all the women at our school, I would like to express our deepest gratitude to the esteemed guests and male colleagues for their kindness and appreciation of the women of our school. We wish you and your families health, happiness, and success. May our women continue to shine brightly, and may this International Women's Day be filled with joy and meaning.
Thank you sincerely to all our guests and women!


2. Speech for International Women's Day 8.3, Version 5
Esteemed delegates,
Dear uncles, aunts, and families of the teaching staff,
Under the guidance of the resolutions from various Party congresses, our school has made significant progress, achieving many remarkable milestones. The development of our school is closely tied to the country's integration period and the history of our homeland. This development represents the existence and growth of each individual. "Human beings are the product of social relationships," and in this social context, Vietnamese women have played an enormously important role. From being marginalized and oppressed by society, women are steadily rising and evolving through various historical periods. Today, women increasingly demonstrate their great capabilities in society, claiming their rights to equality with men and contributing fully to the nation's prosperity. With this in mind, we gather today to celebrate International Women's Day, commemorating March 8th, 1910 to March 8th, 20XX.
Indeed, Vietnamese women have increasingly assumed a crucial role in the economic, cultural, and social life of the country. During the feudal era, the role of women was bound by the Confucian philosophy: "At home, serve the father; upon marriage, serve the husband; and after the husband's death, remain loyal to the children." This long-standing dependence on feudal rites placed women in a subordinate position. However, Confucius emphasized the importance of women's roles, which has continued to be acknowledged up to the present day with the concept of "Virtue, Dignity, Speech, and Action". These four words encapsulate the noble character, position, and immense potential of Vietnamese women.
For decades, Vietnam's revolution has made unprecedented strides in the nation's history, transforming both the land and the people. When the country was divided, with the slogan "All for the frontline," women participated in the "Three Guarantees" movement, balancing household duties while contributing to production to support their husbands and children on the battlefield. They spent sleepless nights longing for the soldiers' return, with many mothers becoming heroes. The poet Nguyen Khoa Diem, in his epic poem "The Road of Aspiration," wrote:
"Look, oh look, far into the 4000 years of the nation.
Year after year, generation after generation
Our sons and daughters, just like us,
Endlessly working hard,
When the enemy arrives, the men march to the battlefield,
The women stay home, nurturing the children,
When the enemy attacks, women fight too.
Many have become heroes,
Many heroes, both you and I know,
They lived and died simply, calmly,
Yet they forged the nation.
These admirable qualities are continually inherited and developed by women, who possess the virtues of loyalty, diligence, love for their family, compassion, and the ability to bring joy to others.
Love for one's husband and children, loyalty, and diligence are qualities that command immense respect. No matter what work or field they are in, women always think of their family. Within the home lies their trust, hope, and all the longing to serve their loved ones. This small family is, in essence, a microcosm of society. The nature of Vietnamese women, regardless of their age or social class, is exemplified in the role of mothers, who must serve as role models for their children. Not only must they guide their children to be well-behaved and successful, but they must also bear the hardships for the sake of their children's future. As poet Tran Quoc Minh wrote:
"Tonight, you sleep soundly,
Your mother is the breeze that guides you through life."
In this era of integration, the intellectual qualities of women are no longer limited to ordinary tasks but extend to science, culture, and economics. More and more women are excelling as engineers, scientists, and labor heroes in every field of society. Many female leaders are taking up important roles in the country’s government, proving that women have the capability to manage and lead state affairs. Indeed, Vietnamese women possess qualities that are both admirable and precious, qualities that will continue to be inherited and developed, worthy descendants of the heroic Trưng Sisters and the two-good movement in schools: "Excelling in school work, managing the home well".
By upholding the tradition of Vietnamese women, the women of our school have made significant contributions to our collective achievements, especially in recent years. The sisters have worked together, united, to build our beloved school. The school's appearance has become more beautiful, with many improvements and bright prospects. The quality of teaching has become more comprehensive, and the efforts of the women in our school have played a crucial role in these successes. We thank the local leaders, departments, and our families for supporting the women in completing their tasks. I hope we all continue to enhance the education of Thinh Son, making it even more solid and contributing to the prosperity of our homeland. We are all worthy of being "engineers of souls," in the most noble profession of all.
Finally, on behalf of the school's leadership and administration, I wish all delegates and teaching staff good health, happiness, and success. May you all be the beautiful flowers in a blooming garden, spreading your fragrance to nourish the world for all eternity.
Thank you very much!

Esteemed delegates and colleagues! Dear ladies,
The history of International Women's Day began with the struggles of female textile and garment workers in Chicago and New York in the late 19th century. Their fight for workers' rights inspired similar movements among female workers in Germany and Russia. This struggle highlighted the need to unite and lead women worldwide in a common battle against capitalist exploitation and oppression.
In 1910, the second International Women's Conference, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, decided that March 8th should be recognized as a day for women worldwide to unite, celebrate their achievements, and advocate for the goals of equality, development, and global peace.
For Vietnamese women, March 8th also commemorates the uprising of the Trưng Sisters, a symbol of the nation's history, which continues to inspire the fight for peace and equality. This day also reflects the enduring legacy of Vietnam's women: "Heroic, unyielding, loyal, and diligent" during wartime and "dynamic, creative, loyal, and capable" during the country's period of renewal.
In the past year, the collective efforts of... and the women in particular have led to significant accomplishments in various fields.
Embodying the spirit of International Women's Day and the Trưng Sisters' rebellion, Vietnamese women in general, and women in... in particular, will continue to uphold the values of self-reliance, dynamism, creativity, and unity, overcoming obstacles to strive for gender equality and happiness for all women as the nation progresses and integrates into the global community.
Esteemed delegates! Dear colleagues and friends,
Human beings are the flowers of the earth, and women are often considered the flowers of all flowers. On this special occasion, I sincerely wish all the mothers, daughters, and sisters good health, eternal youth, happiness, and success in all areas of life and work. I also extend my best wishes to all the distinguished guests and colleagues for their health, happiness, and prosperity. May our celebration be a grand success!
Thank you very much!

Dear female colleagues, teachers, staff, and students,
During these days, alongside women around the world, Vietnamese women across the country are energetically organizing activities to celebrate the anniversary of International Women's Day (March 8, 1910 – March 8, 20…) and the uprising of the Trưng Sisters.
In this joyful atmosphere, on behalf of the school's faculty, I extend my warmest congratulations to all the distinguished guests and to all female staff, teachers, and students of our school.
Dear teachers and beloved students,
Throughout our nation's history of thousands of years of building and protecting our homeland, women have always played an essential role and made significant contributions to the creation of our nation's glorious traditions. The eight golden words “Heroic, unyielding, loyal, and diligent” reflect the profound and enduring legacy of Vietnamese women, closely tied to the nation's heritage.
The success of the Vietnamese revolution and all of our societal advancements have been marked by the active participation of women. From these revolutionary experiences, Vietnamese women have grown stronger and increasingly capable of meeting the ever-growing demands of the revolution, earning the praise of our beloved President Ho Chi Minh: "The beautiful Vietnam, with its lush landscape, is embroidered by the hands of our women, both young and old, making it more splendid and bright."
In the era of renewal, Vietnamese women have proven their abilities and qualities, raising patriotic spirit, solidarity, and maximizing their potential and creativity in labor, work, and education. They have achieved remarkable success in every field, including politics, economics, culture, society, and national defense, contributing significantly to the country's development. In every household, women continue to play a vital role in organizing family life, building homes, and preserving our national culture.
For nearly 30 years, at our high school, we have produced many women who have become accomplished scientists, successful businesswomen, politicians, and leaders, including the unforgettable contributions of our female teachers.
Dear female staff, teachers, and beloved students,
Once again, on this International Women's Day, I would like to express my warmest regards and best wishes to all the women who have raised daughters and those who are students at our school. I wish for good health, much happiness, and success in your lives. To our female students, may you continue to excel and always be the vibrant flowers of our school.
Thank you very much!


5. Opening Speech for International Women's Day Celebration, March 8th, version 8
Distinguished guests,
Dear all women,
Every March, as the warmth of spring embraces us, women in particular, and people in general, eagerly gather to celebrate International Women's Day, March 8th.
Each of us has the special women in our lives who have shaped who we are. These are the grandmothers, the devoted mothers who work tirelessly from dawn to dusk, selflessly caring for their husbands and children. They laid the foundation for the first steps of our lives, gently guiding the first steps of the children. These women taught us how to speak, how to eat, and how to be kind in the smallest actions. They planted dreams, hopes, and faith in our hearts. They instilled in us pride and gratitude for the nurturing love of our fathers and mothers. These remarkable women are deserving of being celebrated as heroes in every family, and the entire community should honor and deeply appreciate them.
Distinguished guests,
Dear all women,
On the land of Vietnam, after centuries of warfare against oppressive feudal regimes, Vietnamese women have continually shone with brilliance. They are like lotus flowers growing from the mud—delicate, pure, and beautiful, yet strong, brave, industrious, creative, and intelligent. Vietnamese women play a crucial role in preserving and developing our national identity and cultural heritage. They are the nurturing mothers who have given birth to generations of heroes, and in the process of nation-building, they have made invaluable contributions to the advancement of society.
March 8th is a special day for men to express their admiration and love for the women they hold dear. In the 365 days of the year, women are given this one day to be appreciated, praised, and respected by society. It is a day dedicated to honoring the hard work of mothers, wives, and those who create and nurture homes and families.
Modern women are no longer just housekeepers; they are workers earning an income and playing a key role in the development of society. They also bear the responsibility of childbirth and raising children to adulthood. Today, they are striving for greater success, improved management, more beauty, and greater confidence.
Women today contribute their talents, intellect, and labor across various fields in society. However, there are still inequalities, injustices, and violence against women in some developing nations, where the fight for gender equality continues...
Distinguished guests,
Dear all women,
On the occasion of International Women's Day, March 8th, I would like to, on behalf of the male staff, wish all the women happiness, health, and vitality. Continue to thrive in the wonderful qualities that make you strong supporters of your families. May you live joyfully and enjoy the happiness of this special day. I also wish that all families remain united, filled with love, and that all staff members remain healthy, united, and achieve great success.
Thank you very much!

8. International Women's Day Celebration Speech, March 8th, version 1
Dear honored guests, faculty and staff colleagues,
Dear beloved ladies,
Today, in a joyous atmosphere full of camaraderie, unity, and progress, the school's Union is proudly organizing the XXth anniversary celebration of International Women's Day, March 8th. On behalf of the school's Union, I warmly welcome the distinguished guests, faculty, and staff members who have taken the time to join us for this commemoration. Your presence here not only shows your deep affection and attention to this international women's celebration, but it also serves as a great encouragement for the women in our school.
Dear ladies, on this special occasion, let us take a moment to reflect on the historical significance of women worldwide. Over a century ago, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the world witnessed rapid population growth and the development of progressive ideas. However, during this period, the role of women in society was undervalued, subjected to discrimination and gender inequality, prompting women to rise up and fight for their rightful privileges.
The history of International Women's Day began with a movement for workers' rights by female workers in the United States in the late 19th century. As American capitalism flourished, many women and children were employed in factories for meager wages. Outraged by this injustice, on March 8, 1899, American female workers demanded higher wages and shorter working hours. The movement began with women in the textile industry in Chicago and New York. Despite fierce opposition from capitalist forces, these women persisted, and the movement spread globally. Prominent leaders in this struggle included Clara Zetkin (Germany) and Laura Lutsan-Bua (Poland).
Recognizing the necessity of organizing a leadership structure to support the women's movement, in 1907, these two leaders, along with Russian activist Alexandra Kollontai, founded the International Women's Secretariat.
In 1910, at an International Women's Congress held in Copenhagen, Denmark, March 8th was declared International Women's Day, a day of solidarity and struggle for women's rights, with the following slogans:
- 8-hour workdays
- Equal employment
- Protection for mothers and children
Since then, March 8th has become a global celebration of women’s unity and their fight for self-liberation, gender equality, and recognition. Today, women across the world observe this day with various meaningful activities to affirm their vital roles and status in society.
In Vietnam, March 8th is also a day to commemorate the Hai Ba Trung Rebellion, where two female leaders, Trung Trac and Trung Nhi, fought to expel foreign invaders and reclaim national sovereignty. This was the first time in history that women led a rebellion and declared themselves rulers. This uprising, which occurred in the spring of 40 AD, was supported by the people, ultimately defeating the Han invaders and freeing the land. The two sisters then became the rulers and established their capital in Me Linh.
Throughout thousands of years of struggle to build and defend the country, Vietnamese women have achieved many great victories, playing a crucial role in national restoration and preservation. We can be proud of these heroic women who wrote a golden chapter in the history of our nation.
History has proven that across every field of activity, from the northern to southern regions, women from all walks of life have proven their important roles. Mothers and sisters are steadfast warriors in battles against foreign invaders, wise and creative leaders, nurturing homemakers, and the mothers who have given birth to generations of national heroes.
Building on this proud legacy, the women of ... Primary School have continuously strived to improve teaching methods and raise the quality of education, contributing to the overall development of ... We are truly deserving of the praise: The Vietnamese people are a heroic people, and Vietnamese women are heroic women.


9. International Women's Day Speech, March 8th, Version 2
Esteemed guests, dear colleagues, and beloved ladies,
Today, with the joy of the early spring season and a sense of unity, love, and friendship, we are gathering to celebrate the XXth anniversary of International Women's Day, March 8th. On behalf of ... I warmly welcome the distinguished guests representing ..., as well as the faculty and staff who have come to join us in this important event. Your presence reflects not only your deep respect for this global women's celebration but also provides a tremendous encouragement to all the women here at ...
Dear guests, dear ladies, on this special day, let us reflect on the history of International Women's Day. The roots of this celebration trace back to the struggles of female textile workers in Chicago and New York in the late 19th century. Their fight for fair wages and rights sparked a global movement, inspiring female workers in Germany, Russia, and beyond. This struggle highlighted the need for women worldwide to unite and fight against the exploitation and oppression of capitalist systems.
In 1910, the second International Women's Conference held in Copenhagen officially declared March 8th as a day for women worldwide to unite and celebrate their power, showing solidarity and working toward the goals of equality, development, and world peace. For Vietnamese women, March 8th is also a day to remember the Hai Ba Trung Rebellion, a significant event that highlights the ongoing fight for peace and justice, as well as the strong legacy of Vietnamese women—brave, steadfast, and creative throughout history and the modern era.
Over the past year, many of our female colleagues have achieved significant success, with some receiving titles such as “Outstanding Laborer at the District and School Level,” “Advanced Worker,” and “Exemplary Woman Balancing Work and Home.” These women have contributed to the development of gender equality in Vietnam, striving to break barriers and challenges in the process of integrating and advancing as a nation. These efforts are instrumental in achieving the goals set by our institution for this academic year.
Esteemed guests,
Dear ladies,
Humans are often compared to flowers of the earth, but women are seen as the finest flowers among them. On this occasion, I would like to extend my warmest wishes to all the women—teachers, mothers, and friends—wishing you health, happiness, success, and fulfillment in all aspects of your life, both personal and professional. I also send my best wishes for health, happiness, and prosperity to the distinguished guests and my colleagues.
I hope our celebration today is a great success. Thank you very much!


10. International Women's Day Speech, March 8th, Version 3
Honored guests, esteemed teachers, interns, and all students!
March has arrived, ushering in a vibrant and joyful atmosphere that fills the air with the colors of spring. It is a time of celebration, as we prepare to honor International Women's Day and commemorate the historic uprising of the Trung Sisters in Vietnam. Our school is proudly holding a solemn ceremony to mark the XXth anniversary of International Women's Day on March 8th. On behalf of the school's Union Committee, I extend my warmest greetings and best wishes for health, success, and happiness to all of our guests, teachers, interns, and students!
Dear distinguished guests,
Dear teachers and students,
In celebration of this special occasion for women, both teachers and students at our school are eagerly working together to bring beauty, joy, and vibrancy, much like blooming flowers, to honor women across the world, especially those here in our school. Let us take a moment to reflect on history and take pride in the immense contributions that women globally, and particularly Vietnamese women, have made in creating a better world.
In the late 19th century, capitalism in the United States rapidly expanded, drawing many women and children into factories where they were grossly underpaid. Outraged by this injustice, on March 8, 1899, female workers in the U.S. stood up to demand higher wages and shorter working hours, marking the beginning of a worldwide movement for labor rights among women. In 1910, the Second International Women's Conference in Copenhagen declared March 8th as International Women's Day, a day for women around the world to unite in the ongoing struggle for equality, development, and peace.
Vietnam's long history of building and defending the nation is filled with trials and triumphs, and women have played an essential role in our nation's heroic achievements, starting with the Trung Sisters. Ancient records tell us that the Trung Sisters, daughters of a noble family in Me Linh, led a rebellion in 40 BC, marking the first time in history that women led a revolt, declared themselves queens, and founded a nation. No other country has had such a remarkable honor. Every spring, we commemorate their bravery and sacrifice, as well as the heroic deeds of other female generals who fought alongside them.
Following this proud tradition, Vietnamese women have provided countless shining examples of loyalty to the country, courage, and sacrifice. They have proven that while Vietnamese women are gentle, they are not weak. They have stood side by side with men to secure the glorious days in our nation's history. Iconic figures such as Mother Suot, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Vo Thi Sau, Mac Thi Buoi, Hoang Ngan, Nguyen Thi Dinh, and countless other female heroes and martyrs remain etched in the hearts of the Vietnamese people. Their names are immortalized in the heroic history of our nation's revolutionary struggles and are forever tied to the movement for women's rights in Vietnam.
Each year, many exemplary women are honored by the state for their remarkable contributions.
Today, we must also recognize the invaluable contributions of our female teachers, staff, and students, who tirelessly strive to improve our school. These women are an integral part of our educational community, embodying the ideals of Vietnamese women—dynamic, creative, loyal, and industrious. In every area, they have excelled in their roles. Let us join together to celebrate and appreciate the women teachers and staff in our school, each one playing a vital role in shaping our educational institution.
Dear distinguished guests,
In a year of 365 days, women have one special day dedicated to recognizing their contributions, honoring their hard work, and expressing gratitude and respect. It is a day to acknowledge the sacrifices of mothers, devoted wives, and those who build and nurture family homes. Modern women are not just homemakers; they are workers contributing to society's development, taking on the responsibilities of childbirth, raising children, and creating the foundation for future generations. Women today are striving for greater success, confidence, and beauty while contributing their talents, intellect, and hard work in various sectors of life. However, despite these advances, inequality still exists, and violence against women continues in some less developed nations.
On this International Women's Day, I wish all grandmothers, mothers, sisters, and women everywhere continued grace, beauty, and good health. I hope that all women continue to excel in their education, work, and family lives, and maintain the exemplary qualities of Vietnamese women. I wish that all families live in harmony, with love and happiness, and that all your hopes and dreams are fulfilled.
