In her response, comrade Nguyen Lan Anh, Permanent Vice President of the Women's Union of Hai Ba Trung Ward, emphasized that this year's theme is not only a call, but also a reminder that the fight against HIV/AIDS, in order to be successful, requires the synchronous participation of the entire political system, the cooperation of each individual, each family and the whole society.

In particular, women – as the family's breadwinners and active participants in community activities – have more responsibility and ability to create solidarity, spread humane and practical messages in the effort to end stigma and discrimination and support people with HIV/AIDS to integrate into the community.
