Women's associations at all levels in Hue city staged propaganda content to protect the safety of women and girls.

From a peaceful home to a safe community

The women's association meeting in An Cuu ward on a weekend afternoon was lively. On the table were small notebooks where mothers meticulously recorded their children's online learning schedules, marked unfamiliar websites to avoid when accessing social media, and discussed how to handle online harassment or bullying of their children. The "Family of Members Without Misbehaving Children" model, after nearly two years of operation, has become a pillar of support, giving many families more peace of mind when raising children in the digital age. Here, mothers not only care for and support their children but also act as "gatekeepers" to keep them safe in cyberspace.

Ms. Ho Phuong Uyen Nhi, President of the Women's Union of An Cuu Ward, said that each branch meeting closely follows the union's action program. Recently, in response 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 parenting skills in the digital age: helping mothers gain more experience in accompanying their children, and knowing how to utilize the advantages of artificial intelligence and the digital environment for learning and playing. In the future, the ward will expand this model throughout the area, contributing to An Cuu's goal of building a "ward free from drugs, social vices, and delinquent children".

Not only in An Cuu, but also in Phu Bai ward, the thematic meetings on "Safety in the Digital Age" attract a large number of women members. They share stories of being scammed through fake links, lessons learned from losing money or having personal information leaked, and share ways to prevent such incidents. Ms. Ngo Thi Tuyet, Head of the Women's Association of Ha residential area, shared: "Social media helps us women learn, connect, and share good things every day, but it also harbors many risks. Therefore, we learn how to use the internet safely, recognize harmful information, and remind each other so that no one becomes a victim."

From these foundations, the movement to build a "Safe Living Environment for Women and Children" has been implemented synchronously by the Women's Union at all levels in Hue City, linked with the campaign "Building a Family with 5 No's and 3 Cleanliness Standards" and the program "Women Participating in Protecting National Security". Many models have been formed such as "An Binh Women's Union Says No to Drugs", "Families Without Children Violating the Law" in Vy Da, "Mothers for the Safety of Children in Traffic" in Huong Thuy... Each model has its own approach, but all share the same goal: maintaining peace starting from the community itself.

Safety remains a long journey in the digital age.

In implementing the nationwide movement to protect national security, women's associations at all levels consider the family as a "soft stronghold" that needs to be strengthened first. By 2025, more than 176,000 women members will participate in activities to disseminate information, receive legal training, prevent and combat social evils, and protect security and order. Alongside this, the "Trusted Address in the Community" and the "Godmother" program will continue to be expanded, not only supporting vulnerable women and women recovering from addiction, but also caring for 903 orphans and children with special circumstances. Social security is therefore maintained not only through law but also through compassion and civic responsibility.

Entering the digital age, crime prevention and control content is being disseminated online. Through fanpages, Zalo Official Accounts (OA), and the Hue-S application of the Smart City Monitoring and Management Center, millions of people have accessed messages about gender equality, online safety, and the prevention of violence and abuse against women and children. This represents a shift in the mindset of crime prevention and control: from word-of-mouth to digital communication, from traditional approaches to multi-platform interaction.

In Kim Long, the model of "Families and clans without juvenile delinquency" combines kinship with social responsibility, creating a sustainable "safety circle." Leveraging this strength, the Hue City Women's Union integrates the security and order movement with patriotic emulation and major projects such as "Supporting women's entrepreneurship" and "Propagating, educating , and mobilizing women to participate in solving social issues related to women and children." From each household and each branch, persistent propaganda and support are weaving a "soft security network"—solid yet flexible, humane yet effective—through the love, community spirit, and intelligence of Hue women in the digital age.

Ms. Tran Thi Kim Loan, Vice Chairwoman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hue City and Chairwoman of the Hue City Women's Union, emphasized: “In the digital age, the boundary between safety and risk is increasingly fragile. Safety, especially for women and girls, remains a long journey. It requires the joint efforts of the entire political system, all levels of women's associations, and every member of each family to transform awareness of protection into concrete actions, so that every home truly becomes a place of peace, and every online space becomes a healthy environment.”
