The “For Women’s Smile” campaign aims to honour the unyielding efforts of Vietnamese women to overcome difficulties and challenges, especially amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, to contribute to the nation's development and prosperity.
With the companionship of scientists, artists and social activists, it hopes to encourage the aspiration to rise up, the will to overcome difficulties, the desire to learn, and the creativity of women.
The campaign also creates a space for women to expand the use of information technology, exchange information towards women's happiness and promote gender equality.
