Speaking at the program, Mr. Nguyen Duc Loi, Permanent Vice President of the Vietnam Journalists Association, said: Ensuring social security is always considered a very important and regular task of the Party, the State and the whole society.

“In that common effort, I highly appreciate the “Silent Contributions” communication program. Over the past 5 years, the program has honored the important contributions of individuals and groups in caring for, treating and creating the best conditions for female workers, especially female migrant workers who have to rent houses.

Notably, through the discussion programs and dissemination of the law, the understanding of stakeholders, including female workers, employers and the community, on workers' rights in the context of the digital economy and climate change has been raised. Thereby, contributing to building a safe and sustainable community; further supporting the rights of the disadvantaged, youth, and ethnic minorities...", Mr. Nguyen Duc Loi shared.
