Initiated in 2019, “Ao Dai Week” has contributed to inspiring and spreading meaningful, positive messages about love, national pride, the country, people and Vietnamese Ao Dai to the public. Since then, every March, women across the country have welcomed and organized many diverse and creative activities to honor the value of Vietnamese Ao Dai.

This can be seen as a form of visual education, helping people to be more aware of the country's territory, sovereignty and responsibilities. This activity is not only a symbol of solidarity but also an affirmation of the important role of women in preserving and developing the country.

The event also shows that Vietnamese women are proud of the traditional Ao Dai and that the Vietnamese Ao Dai is continuing its journey to affirm its role and position in the social community, firmly entering a new era with Vietnamese women.
