The convergence of Women's Day with a major national political event further highlights the role, status, and responsibilities of women in social life. They are not only honored but are also directly contributing and fulfilling their civic duties to work together with the community towards a democratic, responsible, and successful election.
Bringing election information to every home.
While many places are bustling with activities celebrating International Women's Day, a significant number of female officials at the grassroots level are busy with another equally important task: preparing for the nationwide election day. For them, the joy of March 8th is not just about bouquets of flowers or congratulatory messages, but also about the pride of contributing to the common good of the country.
In many residential areas across the city, the sight of women diligently going door-to-door to distribute voter cards and information about candidates has become familiar. This seemingly simple task requires perseverance, responsibility, and a spirit of dedication to the community.
On the evening of March 6th, while many families were gathered after dinner, Ms. Lam Thi Mui, head of the Women's Group in Residential Area No. 1, Thanh Xuan Ward, slowly climbed the stairs of building A2 in the Thanh Xuan Bac apartment complex. The old five-story building has no elevator, eight staircases, and houses over one hundred households. Delivering voter cards and candidate lists to each household is no easy task, but Ms. Mui has been doing it for many years.
Having worked at the grassroots level for many years, she knows almost by heart the number of households in the neighborhood and the number of voter cards that need to be distributed to each family. She's probably climbed so many stairs that she can't even remember them all. But what she remembers most clearly is her responsibility to the community.
"Although the work is busy, I am very happy and proud that I have been able to contribute my efforts to the common good of the city and the country," Ms. Mui shared.
Not only Ms. Mui, but many other female officials in residential areas and neighborhoods are also busy with similar tasks. Besides reviewing voter lists, they also participate in supporting work related to candidates, serving at voter outreach meetings, decorating polling stations, hanging banners and slogans, disseminating information about the election, and being on duty at polling stations.
In the Trung Hoa Nhan Chinh urban area, Yen Hoa ward, Ms. Chang Minh Tuyet Loan, head of the N2C women's group, along with other members of the group, take turns manning the voter registration point. Their job is to receive feedback from residents after reviewing personal information and answer questions related to voter registration.
According to Ms. Loan, there are many cases where people are temporarily residing in the area but wish to participate in the election at their place of residence. Therefore, promptly receiving feedback and providing support helps ensure the legitimate rights of voters before this great national election.
In suburban areas, women's work becomes even busier as it coincides with the start of the spring planting season. In Hung Dao commune, besides farming, local women still find time to participate in activities celebrating International Women's Day on March 8th and the upcoming elections.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Sac, Vice Chairwoman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee and Chairwoman of the Farmers' Association of Hung Dao commune, said that many women's associations have organized meetings, exchanges, and thematic activities for their members. In these programs, besides reviewing the glorious traditions of Vietnamese women and the historical significance of International Women's Day, the content of propaganda about the election of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and deputies to the People's Councils at all levels for the 2026-2031 term has also been practically integrated.
"These activities not only create a vibrant atmosphere in the community but also help women members better understand the significance of the election, thereby encouraging them to actively mobilize their families and the public to participate," Ms. Nguyen Thi Sac enthusiastically shared.
Meanwhile, in Residential Area No. 13 of Bo De Ward, Ms. Nguyen Thi Que, a population collaborator, is also diligently working to distribute voter cards and promote the election. The image of her patiently knocking on each family's door and chatting with each resident has become a familiar sight in the neighborhood.
However, this seemingly simple task is not easy at all. Most people work all day, and their schedules are inconsistent, so meeting with them to exchange information sometimes requires waiting multiple times.
“There were households that required several visits to inform them about the election regulations. But through these direct conversations, we were able to update voters on the regulations and help people better understand their rights and responsibilities. For me, contributing a small part to the success of the election is an honor,” Ms. Que said.
Entrusting our hopes to responsible votes.
While in many residential areas, female officials diligently bring election information to each family, at meetings with young voters, female leaders directly play the role of connecting, conveying information, and instilling a sense of civic responsibility in the new generation.
In Long Bien ward, a meeting with citizens turning 18 who were participating in the election for the 16th National Assembly and People's Councils at all levels for the 2026-2031 term took place in an open and friendly atmosphere. More than just a propaganda program, this was also an opportunity for young people to better understand the significance of their vote and their role in the country's political life.
During the meeting, Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Hang, Deputy Secretary of the Long Bien Ward Party Committee, directly spoke with, listened to, and answered the questions of the young voters. With her approachable and sincere demeanor, she shared with them the significance of the election, and the rights and responsibilities of citizens when they first held a ballot in their hands.
According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Hang, for every citizen who has just turned 18, participating in the election is not only exercising a political right but also a significant milestone marking their maturity. From that moment on, they truly become citizens participating in the decision-making process regarding the country's common issues.
"Many people might think that the first time they hold a ballot, it's just a small piece of paper. But in reality, it represents the political power of a citizen in a state of the people, by the people, and for the people," shared Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Hang.
The relatable stories and sincere messages from grassroots officials helped young voters better understand the significance of election day. The atmosphere of the meeting was therefore not just a propaganda activity, but also a sharing of trust between the older generation and the younger citizens.
During the month of March, a time to honor women, the image of female officials from the grassroots to the leadership level directly participating in propaganda, meeting with voters, and accompanying the younger generation is contributing to the thorough preparation for the nationwide election day.
