In recent years, women's unions at all levels in Hoa Binh province have made great efforts to prevent domestic violence and protect women and children through numerous activities, towards building prosperous, equitable, progressive, and happy families. Practical programmes, projects, and models have significantly contributed to implementing targets set by Women's Union congresses at all levels.
Members of the "community media team" club, and the "trusted
address" model in Van Nghia commune (Lac Son district) share experiences
in promoting gender equality and solving urgent problems for women and
children.
According to Hoang Thi Duyen, chairwoman of the
provincial Women's Union, in 2024, the union has continued implementing
activities of Project 279 on promoting the good value of family relationships
and supporting the building of happy and sustainable families; maintaining the
operation of a marriage and family counseling team to support women in family
work.
The counseling team has provided support for
domestic violence victims and pre-marital consultations; and popularised
knowledge about the Law on Marriage and Family, the prevention of child abuse,
raising of children and the building of a happy and sustainable family on the
website of the provincial Women's Union.
The union has coordinated with relevant agencies
to detect and support women and children who are victims of domestic violence
and child abuse. Victims’ families are connected to support centres for legal
aid, medical services and psychological counseling to promptly resolve
emergency situations.
Women's unions at all levels have organised 38
competitions, 28 thematic seminars, 55 training courses, focusing on educating
ethics, lifestyle and behavioral skills in the family, helping members build a
sustainable and healthy family environment.
The organisation has coordinated with
departments and sectors to organise thematic talks on the occasion of the
Vietnamese Family Day (June 28) and the national action month against domestic
violence, attracting the participation of 250 delegates and thousands of
members.
In 2024, the union supported 903 women with
disabilities through training, loan support, and job referrals. Training
courses were held for 60 women and families with disabled people, helping them
access legal knowledge and support policies.
The models "Family meals - warm love"
and "Raising healthy children, teaching good children" have
contributed to spreading the responsibility and love in the community.
All chapters of the provincial Women's Union are
striving to give 80% of women and girls who are victims of domestic violence
and human trafficking access to at least one social assistance service, Duyen
said.
In the coming time, effective models will be
expanded, while communication campaigns will be enhanced, towards building
prosperous, equal, progressive, and happy families in the province, she went
on.
The Department of Education and Training of Hoa Binh province held a conference on March 18 to review the performance of the "Safe and Happy School" Project and set out tasks for 2025. The project, funded by the Taiwan Fund for Children and Families (TFCF), aims to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment for students. The event saw the attendance of representatives from the TFCF and 26 beneficiary schools.
With over 70% of their workers being women, trade unions across industrial parks (IPs) in Hoa Binh have been actively safeguarding their legal rights and interests while implementing initiatives to improve their income and well-being.
In recent years, the Hoa Binh provincial General Hospital has continuously innovated itself and improved the quality of medical services to meet the increasing needs of local people. With substantial investments in infrastructure and modern equipment, along with a team of highly qualified doctors and nurses, the hospital has gradually established itself as one of the leading medical units in the Northwestern region and a trusted destination for healthcare for people inside and outside the province.
From mastering the fundamentals of programming to achieving national recognition, the Programming Club of the Le Van Tam Primary School (STAR LVT28) in Hoa Binh city has made remarkable strides in the field of robotics.

As climate change grows more unpredictable, the development of production forests has become essential - not just for economic growth, but for safeguarding the environment and maintaining ecosystem balance. By boosting local incomes, curbing natural disasters, preventing soil erosion, and protecting water resources, these forests play a crucial role in sustainable development.
