The Prime Minister has agreed with the Vietnam Women’s Union’s proposal to observe 2013 as Vietnam Family Year.

Under a recently signed decision, the PM assigned the Union to work closely with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, provincial People’s Committees and relevant ministries and agencies to carry out practical activities to celebrate the event.

He asked the designated agencies to boost communications campaigns to encourage people to build happy families.

Over the years, the Party and State have paid special attention to family affairs, launching many related movements aiming to prevent domestic violence, fight off social evils, and develop community services.

Local administrations have run training courses to improve social workers’ capacity, launched communications campaigns and integrate domestic violence prevention into school curricula.

Vietnam observes June 28 as Vietnam Family Day.
