Ethnic minority women in Lam Dong spread the "5 no, 3 clean" model

Linking the women's movement with economic development

Nau Sri residential group has a large number of ethnic minorities (DTTS) living. The "5 no, 3 clean" model here attracts more than 150 women members to participate, contributing to raising awareness, improving life and building a civilized lifestyle.

The whole group has nearly 300 women members, of which ethnic minority women account for nearly 70%. Most women work in agriculture, and their income is still limited, so the Women's Union branch focuses on propaganda and mobilization associated with supporting livelihoods and improving living conditions.

Ms. Ka Sy Din - Head of the Women's Union of Nau Sri residential group said that the Union coordinates with the Ward Women's Union, the Fatherland Front and mass organizations to propagate for members to implement the "5 no, 3 clean" criteria.

In which, "5 no's" include no hunger, no violation of law and social evils, no domestic violence, no violation of population policy, no malnourished and dropping out of school children; "3 cleans" are clean house, clean kitchen, clean alley.

Through implementation, members raise awareness about gender equality, the role of women in the family and society, actively participate in economic development, and build a cultural life in the locality.

Joining hands to build a green and clean living environment

Every week, Nau Sri women's union members coordinate with mass organizations to clean village roads and alleys, collect garbage, clear bushes and take care of women's self-managed roads according to the criteria "green, clean, beautiful".

The branch also mobilized families to move livestock barns away from houses, maintain environmental hygiene, and practice eating cooked food and drinking boiled water to protect health.

Notably, the "Building Beautiful Houses" model attracted 20 members to participate, providing financial support for 15 women to build new houses. The total regular working capital reached 385 million VND, helping members gradually improve their housing.

Ms. Le Thi Thu Thanh - Vice Chairwoman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of B'Lao Ward, Chairwoman of the Ward Women's Union said that the model has received positive response from Nau Sri women.

Through propaganda and implementation, members' awareness of the law, prevention of social evils, environmental sanitation and the role of women in the family is increasingly raised.

The model contributes to improving the lives of ethnic minority women, promoting the role of members in building a prosperous, progressive, and happy family and promoting socio-economic development in the locality.
