Keep peace from every family

Hue City Women's Union at all levels dramatizes propaganda content to protect the safety of women and girls.

From peaceful home to safe community

The An Cuu Ward Women's Union meeting took place in a lively atmosphere on the weekend afternoon. On the table were small notebooks where mothers meticulously recorded their children's online study schedules, marked strange addresses to avoid when accessing social networks, and discussed how to behave when children were harassed or bullied online. After nearly 2 years of operation, the model "Family members without naughty children" has become a support to help many families feel more secure when raising their children in the technology era. Here, the mother not only takes care of them, but also accompanies them, and is also the "gatekeeper" to keep them safe in cyberspace.

Ms. Ho Phuong Uyen Nhi, Chairwoman of the Women's Union of An Cuu Ward, said that each branch meeting closely follows the union's action program. Recently, responding to the Month of Action for Gender Equality with a focus on safety for women and girls in the digital age, training sessions focused on digital parenting skills: helping mothers gain more experience in accompanying and taking advantage of artificial intelligence and the digital environment for learning and playing. In the coming time, the ward will replicate the model throughout the area, contributing with An Cuu to the goal of building a "ward without drugs, without social evils, without bad children".

Not only An Cuu, in Phu Bai ward, the thematic activities "Safety in the digital age" attracted a large number of women members. They told each other about the times they were scammed through fake links, lost money or revealed personal information, and shared ways to avoid it. Ms. Ngo Thi Tuyet, Head of the Women's Association of Ha residential group shared: "Social networks help us women learn, connect and share good things every day, but they have many potential risks. Therefore, we learn how to use the network safely, recognize harmful information and remind each other so that no one becomes a victim."

From those cores, the movement to build a "Safe living environment for women and children" was implemented synchronously by the Women's Union at all levels in Hue city, associated with the campaign "Building a family of 5 no, 3 clean" and the program "Women participating in protecting national security". Many models were formed such as "An Binh Women's Association says no to drugs", "Families without children violating the law" in Vy Da, "Mothers for children's safety when participating in traffic" in Huong Thuy... Each model has a different way of doing things, but they all have the same goal: keeping peace from the community itself.

Safety is still a long journey in the digital age

Implementing the movement of the entire people protecting the security of the Fatherland, women's associations at all levels consider the family as a "soft fortress" that needs to be strengthened first. In 2025, more than 176,000 women's association members participated in propaganda activities, legal training, prevention and fight against social evils, and security and order protection. Along with that, the "Trusted Address in the Community" and the "Godmother" program continued to be expanded, not only supporting disadvantaged women and women after drug rehabilitation, but also caring for 903 orphans and children in special circumstances. Social security is therefore maintained not only by law but also by love and civic responsibility.

Entering the digital age, crime prevention propaganda content has been brought to the online environment. Through fanpage, zalo OA and Hue-S application of the Center for Monitoring and Operation of Smart Cities, millions of people have accessed messages about gender equality, network safety, prevention of violence and abuse against women and children. This is a shift in thinking about social work: from word of mouth to digital communication, from traditional approach to multi-platform interaction.

In Kim Long, the model of “Family and clan without minors in violation of the law” combines family affection with social responsibility, creating a sustainable “safe circle”. Promoting that strength, the City Women’s Union integrates the security and order movement with patriotic emulation and major projects such as “Supporting women to start a business”, “Propaganda, education , and mobilizing women to participate in solving social issues related to women and children”. From each home, each branch persistently propagating and supporting, is weaving a “soft security posture” - solid but flexible, humane but effective - with love, community awareness and intelligence of Hue women in the digital age.

Ms. Tran Thi Kim Loan, Vice President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the city, President of the Hue City Women's Union emphasized: "In the digital age, the line between safety and risk is increasingly fragile. Safety, especially safety for women and girls, is still a long journey. It requires the cooperation of the entire political system, of all levels of the association and each member of each family to turn protection awareness into concrete actions, so that each home is truly a peaceful place, each cyberspace becomes a healthy environment."
