Answer:

What is Vietnam Women's Union mean?

The Vietnam Women's Union, otherwise referred to as the VWU, is a socio-political organization that represents and defends the legal and legitimate rights and interests of Women in Vietnam. The Vietnam Women's Union was originally founded on October 20, 1930 and went through various name changes until the 1950s and the first National Women's Congress. Currently, membership is over 13 million members belonging to 10,472 local women's unions in communes and towns throughout the country The current president, re-elected for the 2017-2022 term, is PresidentNguyen Thi Thu Ha and Vice Presidents Bui Thi Hoa, Tran Thi Huong, Hoang Thi Ai Nhien, and Nguyen Thi Tuyet.

From 1931-1945 the title was the “Liberation Women’s Union” with a primary focus on rallying support for the Communist Party of Vietnam and the North Vietnam regime in the populace and combat the French colonialists in the Southern region. From 1936-1938 the name changed to the “Anti-Imperialism Women’s Union” to show their support of the Communist regime and to bring women together in opposition to the American involvement in the Vietnam War.The name again changed in 1939 until 1940 to the “Democratic Women’s Union” as well as the “Women’s League for National Salvation” during the remainder of the war until the final name change to the Vietnam Women's Union in 1950 at the first National Women's Congress. At this point, the VWU officially encouraged members to actively participate in nation building processes and support of the government through anti-French and Imperialist resistance in all aspects of their lives.

The VWU strives for the advancement of women's development and gender equality, representing Vietnamese women to the state and counseling on the protection of women's rights. These policies include everything from childcare, education, community services, to health education. Originally grown from a grassroots organization, the changing ties to the political governance in the modern union and conflicting ideologies of the union has led to a top-down implementation method for the dissemination of information. The VWU is the first and only women's organization in modern Vietnamese history, and is a member of the local organization the Vietnam Fatherland Front, as well as active in international institutions like the Women's International Democratic Federation (WIDF) and ASEAN Confederation of Women's Organizations (ACWO). Annually, the VWU provides nominees and recipients for the award "For the Cause of Women's Emancipation/For the Development of Women in Vietnam" which may be awarded to locals and foreigners who have made noticeable contributions to the advancement of women in Vietnam.

The establishment and growth of the VWU is dependent on the state government, as the overwhelming ideas of womanhood are combined in intertwined narratives. Both the National Party and the VWU worked to promote the “fairy-bird narrative” a blend of Marxist ideology and the idea of traditional Vietnamese womanhood, to create the current gender ideals and social priorities of the VWU. Development of a Vietnamese Woman has been the purpose of the VWU's involvement in state policies and laws, with VWU's Statutes and Resolutions focusing on educated in national tradition, moral lifestyle and gender equality, as well as training on the prevention of social vices and methods to nurture happy families. In 1987, the VWU sponsored the opening of the Vietnam Women's Museum, attached to the Hanoi VWU headquarters, to expand local knowledge on the impact women have had to the advancement of Vietnamese society. There are three permanent venues on the premises depicting the evolution of the history of Vietnamese women in fashion, general history, family development. In the 1950s and 1960s there was also the publication of Phu Nu Viet Nam (Vietnamese Woman), a magazine through which to promote “socialist womanhood”—the foundation ideology of the VWU during the Vietnam War and reform eras.

Much of the VWU's work has focused on the promotion of personal growth to transform and empower women in daily life, which would in turn direct the nation to reformation as an “equal and better society” after reunification. Unfortunately, these hard line feminine ideals of perfection were flawed in that women were constantly overwhelmed by the responsibilities of leading a family and a nation. Women who did not adequately personify the motions of Confucian femininity, filial piety, and national ideology were considered a shame to their family. The Party has also worked with the VWU to pull women into positions of power in the new political spheres. With the 1968 mandate that women must account for at least 30% of personnel under government organization, women and their unique concerns are increasingly being drawn onto the political stage of Vietnam. There have also been national safe house construction for women and children who are victims of do reference
