The activities in response to the campaign will be concentrated in March (the peak month) and will continue throughout 2024, depending on the practical situation at agencies, organizations, and localities. Some planned activities include organizing the launching ceremony for Vietnam Consumer Rights Day 2024; disseminating information; and distributing relevant documents and publications.

Simultaneously, organize workshops, training courses, and programs on relevant topics to show appreciation to consumers. Organize public events focused on consumers, or competitions to learn about legal regulations, business knowledge and skills, and consumer rights protection…

The Ministry of Industry and Trade encourages the participation of state agencies, social organizations, businesses, and consumers in related activities. The goal is to gradually make Vietnam Consumer Rights Day a driving force and a key highlight in socio-economic life, supporting the business activities of enterprises. This ensures the basic rights of consumers, especially the right to access information transparently and safely.
