The Union at all levels has promoted the application of information technology to enhance the capacity of its staff in digital transformation and the use of social media in propaganda and mobilization of members to participate in Union activities. To date, 100% of grassroots Women's Union branches have conducted propaganda and reported on activities on Zalo, Facebook, and fanpages; Women's Union branches have created Zalo groups; and branch meetings are conducted in person or online to facilitate member participation.
