Adding more appeal to women's work

In recent times, with focused direction, focused implementation, and resource investment, the work of the association and women's movement in the province has had positive changes, which is an important basis for gathering and attracting women to participate in the association.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Tam, Chairwoman of the Women's Union of Krong Buk district, said that the district Women's Union has 8 branches with nearly 9,000 members. The district Women's Union has directed the branches to focus on many solutions to improve the quality of union activities. In particular, improving the content of activities towards focusing on issues that members and women need and lack; building models and clubs suitable to women's interests to develop members and attract women.

Ea Kar District Women's Union responds to "Ao Dai Week".

Up to now, 8/8 grassroots associations have regularly maintained health training models such as: sports model "Volleyball, football"; "Healthy and beautiful women" club, "Confident, self-respecting, loyal and responsible women" club, "Healthy and beautiful folk dance" club... attracting more than 10,300 cadres, members and women to participate; maintaining 35 models of "Family of 5 no, 3 clean". In order to create conditions for members to access preferential loans, the District Women's Union has been entrusted with the District Social Policy Bank to lend capital to more than 2,000 female members for economic development with a total amount of over 131 billion VND.

The Ea Kar District Women's Union is a unit with a large membership of over 23,300 members. Along with innovating the content and methods of operation, the union at all levels has promoted the application of information technology and social networks in operating activities, developing the economy, and connecting the market. In particular, it pays attention to the lives of women with many activities such as: supporting loans and livelihoods; calling for resources and connecting the consumption of start-up products; launching movements and competitions... Thereby creating trust for members and women to actively participate in the union organization.

As a typical unit, the Women's Union of Ea Knop town (Ea Kar district) has developed many good models to attract members. Typical examples include the model "Women for a green environment" collecting recycled waste to raise funds to support women in difficulty (at 3 branches with nearly 200 members participating); the model "Love rice jar", "Raising piggy banks" to support women; the model "Gathering women on cyberspace", "Folk songs and traditional music"... Currently, the Women's Union of the town has established 2 folk dance clubs and 10 folk dance teams at the branches, and at the same time supported loans with an amount of over 1.3 billion VND for 150 members to borrow for economic development.

According to Vice President of the Provincial Women's Union Kim Thoa Adrong, in the Resolution of the 17th Provincial Women's Union Congress (term 2021 - 2026), it was clearly identified that "Focusing on building a strong association base is one of two breakthroughs to be implemented during the term, including the target: by the end of the term, the whole province will increase by 16,500 members; strive to have no association base with the rate of women aged 18 and over present in the area participating in the organization of the association below 60%".

By the end of 2024, the province still has 4 association bases (in Ea Kar and Krong Buk districts) with the rate of women aged 18 and over present in the area participating in the association organization below 60%.

Members of the Women's Union of Buon Ma Thuot City are given free instructions on how to mix drinks to help them start a business.

Sharing about the difficulties in gathering and attracting members, Ms. Nguyen Thi Tan, President of the Women's Union of Chu Kbo commune (Krong Buk district) said that the commune has a large area, the population is not concentrated, the life of ethnic minorities is still difficult. Not to mention, a group of women who are difficult to mobilize such as: ethnic women, religious women, elderly women, women who are rubber plantation workers, teachers... mainly participate in activities at specific locations and work units. On the other hand, the operating budget of the association is limited, the way of organizing activities in some branches is not flexible, the content is monotonous. A group of women work far away, the economic burden of the family, the husband does not create conditions for them to participate in association activities...

In order to effectively implement the target of developing members according to the resolution, in February 2025, the Provincial Women's Union organized a workshop on "Solutions to attract and gather members" in two districts of Krong Buk and Ea Kar, thereby finding out the causes and providing effective solutions for units having difficulty gathering members.

Ea Kmut Commune is the remaining unit of Ea Kar district that has not yet met the target of developing members (reaching a rate of 56.19% by the end of 2024). In light of this, the Ea Kmut Commune Women's Union has promoted measures and built models such as: "Older women", "My village is green - clean - beautiful", "Domestic violence prevention and control" Club, "Folk dance and sports" Club. Organize activities related to the needs and interests of women. At the same time, promote the role of core members and prestigious people in the community to introduce and mobilize new members; implement loan support programs, start-up consulting; build charity funds, rice savings jars, donate to help women in danger, illness, etc.

Thanks to that, by the end of February 2025, the Ea Kmut Commune Women's Union had developed 109 more members, bringing the total number of members to 1,750/2,890 women aged 18 and over in the area (reaching 60.5%). Currently, Ea Kar district has 100% of units with a membership rate of over 60%.
