At the training session, Ms. Thai Thu Xuong - Vice President of the VGCL emphasized that caring for and protecting the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of female union members, workers and children is an important task of the Trade Union organization.
In the context of many changes in labor relations, female officials need to innovate thinking and improve professional skills to solve problems arising at the grassroots level, meeting the actual needs of female workers.

Ms. Do Hong Van - Deputy Head of the Labor Relations Department of the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor directly conveyed thematic topics on women's work in the new situation; innovating operating methods according to the Resolution of the 14th Vietnam Trade Union Congress; improving the quality of activities of the mass women's committee.
