Women of Lang Son promote the tradition of “Three responsibilities”

Responding to the call of President Ho Chi Minh, in March 1965, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Women’s Union (WU) launched the movement “Three assumptions” of the women. Afterwards, Uncle Ho changed the name of the movement into “Three responsibilities” which was more meaningful, both simple and consistent with the traditions of Vietnamese women. For many years, the movement has been actively and effectively implemented by women across the country, including those of Lang Son province.

Ms. Nong Thanh Hai, Chairwoman of the Provincial Women’s Union, said: “Inheriting the tradition of “Three responsibilities”, today, officers, WU members and women in the province have been striving to gain “confidence, self-respect, loyalty and responsibility” associated with studying and following Uncle. We have broadly launched emulation movements to attract women to participate, such as “Developing the women of Xu Lang in a new era”, “Building a family of 5 no, 3 clean, contributing to the Vietnamese family values”… At the same time, we strengthen the introduction of typical examples in all fields to create spillover effect among units of the union. Through these activities, women have promoted their roles, actively contributed to the realization of economic, cultural and social development goals and participated in building the Party and a strong political system.”
